Outside all day and not sweating calls for a glass of wine and I have just the bottles, in all Lockdown price ranges. Values Riondo Prosecco: The lighter side of Prosecco … Continue reading →

Not sick of rosé yet. Nope, not at all. At this point in the summer I’m half woman, half rosé. Let’s up that percentage with more of these recent faves: Gérard Bertrand Gris Blanc: You’ve probably seen their Cote de Roses everywhere, but we had a ton of the Gris Blanc in the south of France last month … Continue reading →

Lebron’s a huge grapefriend whose last big wine night was posted on Instagram a few months ago. Pulling in $35 mil a year, the bottles he pops define baller wines. The college players in March Madness don’t quite have that coin (and hell, some can’t even legally drink). So while you’re watching those games, here’s … Continue reading →

So much movie celebrating requires wine – and lots of it. Of course Hollywood’s covered on the bubbly front.

Last month we made mom merry with wine, this month we delight the dads. One of my dad’s favorites (and now mine) is Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a southern Rhône blend. The primary grapes are Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre although there are 13 that are officially allowed.   Although the name means the new house of the pope, “pape” is … Continue reading →

I’ll be recommending my favorite rosés every month this summer, so here’s the first batch for National Rosé Day on June 9, from the OG … Continue reading →

rosé of the week: yves leccia patrimonio

Posted on August 7, 2017 by grapefriend • Leave a comment

This week’s fave rosé comes from Corsica, that French island near Italy I’ve always wanted to go to. Yves Leccia’s wines are apparently referred to as the Rolls Royce of Corsican wines. I haven’t had any of his others, but the rosé is on point! It’s made up of 20% Grenache, a common rosé grape, … Continue reading →
