I love The League. Not only does it illustrate the ridiculous obsession many of us have with fantasy football, it’s also completely hilarious. So during this Football Week, lets take a look at some of their most grapefriendy moments. 1 Remember this Taco venture? 3 Penis wine is made from the penises of a deer, … Continue reading
A lot of discussion is devoted to the best food and wine pairings. Who knew that some of the best are just when you put wine right on the food? Recently I went to a dinner where they put some Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand right on oysters. When it comes to oysters, I’m usually … Continue reading
It was only a matter of time before a little company like Apple would want a piece of grapefriend. We’re both fruits after all, and apparently they’ve been very influenced by what’s been going on here. So much so that they’re probably making their next iPhone Champagne-colored. Now obviously there are lots of rumors that … Continue reading
A wild sky calls for Wild Horse wine. Perfect pairing for these crazy clouds is either their Unbridled Chard and Pinot Noir. I really love their Pinot Noirs, especially the silky black cherry 2010 Cheval Sauvage which is made from the best grapes they grow each year. They’ve got Pinots at every price though, so you can … Continue reading
It’s Wine Week over on Salted & Styled, the food blog I do wine pairings for. But what does grapefriend write about when it’s a whole week devoted to my favorite topic? I was given some creative freedom, though of course I wanted to keep it food-centric. So I started thinking about food and wine … Continue reading
Summer is in full swing, and grapefriends are drinking well! From fireworks to feasts, the tags were awesome. Here were a few of my faves! We started out with a bang – or at least a crackle (of fireworks). Love this pic. The obvious companion to wine is food, and I saw a bunch of … Continue reading
In our second vineyard tour today, we head to the incredibly gorgeous Durell in Sonoma. We got there right as the fog was rolling in – excellent for both making Pinot and taking cool photos. (No filters on these guys except for the two with frames below.) Amazing views of Sonoma and skylines. Plus, it … Continue reading
So last night’s dinner was amaze. After we tasted through a bunch of Frank Family wines, we had a massive paella feast! This guy Gerard cooked it all for us, and he actually beat Bobby Flay in a paella throwdown so you knew it was gonna be insane. First we got this sick spread of … Continue reading
Pink bubbles usually costs more than white ones. Some people say this is because you have to add some still red wine to the white bubbly, which can up the cost either because of the additional wine and the additional effort. But it’s worth it! We’ve gone through some great sparkling rosés, but here’s a great … Continue reading
Rosé Week is here!!! As most grapefriends know, I drink rosé all year round. Most people, however, associate it with summer and really that’s fine with me if that’s what it takes to get people to try it out. One thing I’ve noticed lately is that people have serious rosé preferences for either pale or … Continue reading
