Well, we didn’t have a drop of wine on the finale (boooooo) but we still beat last year’s count! Season 5’s total glasses was 22, and this season clocked in at 23. Eh, we only got one more glass, but I’ll take it. Plus, last season was more about having wine at dinners out, and … Continue reading
If you’re not following grapefriend on Twitter, you may have missed these juicy grapes: 1 So remember how it was Robert Mondavi’s 100th birthday this past Tuesday? Well they had a huge bash at the winery and had wine cupcakes!! Kara’s Cupcakes made these vanilla “Cent’anni” cupcakes with Fumé Blanc curd filling and Fumé Blanc buttercream frosting (and there’s actual wine … Continue reading
Robert Mondavi always said that sharing wine and food with friends and family is one of life’s greatest pleasures – who wouldn’t agree with that! Today would’ve been his 100th birthday, so there have been lots of events in honor of it since he is largely responsible for forming Napa Valley’s reputation, which basically served … Continue reading
After last night’s wine-drinking on Mad Men, I can be summed up like this: How I feel when no one drinks wine on Mad Men https://t.co/Z1TGpuCw5h — grapefriend (@grapefriend) June 17, 2013 Megan had ample opportunity to pop a cork when they came home from the movies; instead she just gave Don grief for pouring … Continue reading
If you’re not following grapefriend on Twitter, you may have missed these juicy grapes: I was interviewed by Bon Appetit about one of my favorite grapefriendy posts – the Mad Men wine count! Screw Don and his Old Fashioneds – we got grapes! We also played a fun game matching the characters to different types of … Continue reading
The whole episode was causing me a lot of anxiety because wine didn’t make an appearance until the last scene. Torture! But then it made up for it. First, I don’t like how they’re manipulating me into liking Megan by having her drink wine all the time. It’s obvious and shameless. But I mean, it … Continue reading
I’m changing the name of the show from Mad Men to Mad Grapefriends. Once again, no wine in the whole episode. Started out per usual with Don sippin on the brown juice. But all was downhill from there, even for cocktails really. Don could’ve been drinking wine out if that high tumbler by the pool, … Continue reading
Finally! After two dry weeks, we are back on grapey track. Since this is so exciting, let’s get right to it. Once again, we have Megan to thank. First, before dinner she poured Don some Canadian Club but already had some wine in her own glass. No bottle in sight, but it was white. She’s … Continue reading
Most hilarious episode of Mad Men ever. But what isn’t funny at all is that we’ve now had two weeks in a row without a drop of wine! At first I thought the Drapers had some sort of ferris wheel of fun where wine bottles were placed on a round rack in their kitchen. That … Continue reading
This week’s ep was all about control – losing it, gaining it, infuriating Don with it. When Sylvia calls him at the office, she says, “I need you, and nothing else will do.” Don being Don, and also being vulnerable and power-bummed at that moment, was all pumped. Oh, Don. SHE WAS TALKING TO THE … Continue reading
