jay-z’s ladies love the grape
It’s like I’m inundated with pictures of women in Jay-Z’s life drinking wine. Inundated! Take yesterday. First, on MTV’s Instagram I come across this pic of Rihanna pouring out champers on the plane after her concert. They didn’t say what kind it was, but any good grapefriend instantly knows it’s Ace of Spades. That’s Jay’s … Continue reading
what did obama drink to celebrate?
The anticipation is KILLING grapefriend! Last election, he and Michelle drank Graham Beck Brut NV (which means Non Vintage). It’s a sparkling wine from South Africa, and the same thing Nelson Mandela drank at his inauguration as South Africa’s first black president. I like Graham Beck, but really Obama should be drinking American! Did he drink Mumm Napa, … Continue reading
getting your grape on: october
I just love when people tag me when they drink wine. This month was pretty crazy, especially since lots of east coasters were stuck in their Sandy bunkers (those wine pics are here due to extreme circumstances and extreme wine drinking and not included in this month’s Getting Your Grape On). So let’s get to it! … Continue reading
congrats, giants!
It was obvious the Giants were going to win the World Series for two reasons: 1) Their name is the Giants, and all Giants rule sports. 2) They celebrated with the better bubbly (Mumm Napa versus the Tigers’ non-alcoholic Fre Brut). This was a no-brainer sweep. I do wish journalists would stop saying these teams … Continue reading
world series of bubbly: giants vs tigers
We’ve got our World Series, people! Who’s more excited than grapefriend? Well, a lot of people. But I AM excited to have our final champagne showdown (even though technically most teams have celebrated with sparkling wine, not Champagne, but I digress…). Seems that our bubbly baseballers are pretty loyal to their brands. When the Tigers … Continue reading
grapefriend showdown: yankees vs tigers
So last night was Game 1 in the ALCS, but let’s take a step back to each of their victory celebrations prior to making it to this leg. If their bubbly celebration choices are any indication, I think we may have clear winner. This is how the Yankees celebrated: pouring out some Beau Joie champagne … Continue reading
suddenly i like andy murray a little less
I know the US Open ended a while ago, but I just read about this. After Andy Murray won, he went to celebrate in NYC at Hakkasan. I haven’t been yet but I have been to the one in London and loooved it. It was a while ago so I don’t remember what I drank, … Continue reading
a pledge everyone should adopt
Had dinner with Joel Peterson, the founder and winemaker of Ravenswood. We tasted his 7 single-vineyard Zinfandels as well as the Icon from the 2009 vintage. My faves: Dickerson: this was the first one I tasted, and what I tasted was toothpaste! I couldn’t believe it since I had brushed my teeth over an hour … Continue reading
getting your grape on: august
And the grapes just keep on coming. Especially if you’re Amy, who wins the Grapefriend of the Month award for tweeting me pictures of everything she drank on her French vacation! Salut! Here’s Amy’s trip du vin in the south of France and Paris: In other parts of the world, Lauren said this wine in … Continue reading
