Oooooooh look who won the French Open! Not much of a surprise but still it’s quite a feat, especially with the rain delay and everything. Surely, it earns Rafa some grapey goodness. We could easily just pop open some Champagne – the region’s about an hour from Paris. But I think it would be much … Continue reading
Thought this was pretty hilarious. You know how I get annoyed with all the press about Jay Z’s bub of choice, Armand de Brignac aka Ace of Spades? Well I think the Instagram founders are now on grapefriend’s side. Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger were in Vegas celebrating their acquisition by Facebook, and Armand De Brignac issued a statement … Continue reading
Things I currently need more of in my life: sleep Viognier Champagne made mostly from Pinot Meunier I can probably get the first two. The third is a little harder to come by, although apparently everyone who went to the Cartier after-party last night had it handed to them on a platter (literally).

But when you ditch the cool effects and paint by numbers plots and go outside of the system, everyone gets all that great funky, quirky stuff – Pulp Fiction, Scream, Trainspotting. And that’s where grower Champagnes come in. Basically, farmers in … Continue reading
OK so I’m a day late with this whole start of the week thing, but grapefriend has been busy! And lots of celebrating has been involved! But Bubbly Week starts…NOW. So obviously it’s the holidays, and obviously most people start popping bottles of Champagne around now. Well, the bub is back, baby! Sales have been … Continue reading
Last night I went to the Giants game. I had to drink beer, but it was actually good (called Landshark – pretty tasty). Anyway, Joe Gorga from Real Housewives of New Jersey was sitting right in front of us with Richie (Kathy’s husband). I didn’t see Joe drinking, but grapefriend has to wonder if he’d … Continue reading
