icymi: weekly wine tweets and treats
Lots of cool grape tidbits happened this week! Went to the Guggenheim, where they poured out some really good wine at the James Turrell exhibit. Had a Vermentino first from Poggio al Tesoro, which is an interesting white to have in your arsenal. It’s light and sort of herbal, mineral, lemony. Great for some fresh … Continue reading
mad men wine count: grapiest moments
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
kate middleton’s baby name: chardonnay???
It would be surprising enough if the baby name wasn’t something decidedly British and royal like Elizabeth or Diana or even Alexandra (which are all the frontrunner girl names). But apparently Chardonnay is also in the lead as one of the names! This is really all too much for grapefriend to handle. OK, so it’s only … Continue reading

Annie popped mini bubbles on Nantucket Roxy snapped this wall o’ wine in … Continue reading
obama’s grapiest gifters
Lots of gifts are given to the president. I mean hell, I get gifts and I’m just grapefriend so you can surmise that the leader of the free world gets some killer swag. Let’s just concentrate on the wine-related ones though, and see which country is the biggest grapefriend: portugal Professor Anıbal Cavaco Silva, president of Portugal: W&J … Continue reading
the grapefriend blend: my own chardonnay!
Yep, it’s Chardonnay Day and I’ve got my own wine now! OK, so actually Landmark just put a label with my name on the blend I crafted – I really wanted them to make a fancy label called “grapefriend blend” because that’s a much snazzier name. Sooooooooo I just slapped a ghetto one on! I’ve … Continue reading
reese and rosé: two months later…
What a difference a two months and one arrest make. Yesterday Reese and Jim Toth were spotted having lunch at the Soho House. While Jim is going for the grape, Reese looks like she’s very politically drinking water. But remember her birthday in Cabo in March? Ah, but that was all pre “Do you know … Continue reading
mad men wine: we have a new hero
It makes sense that Marie is my new hero, since she gave birth to Megan, the Official Mad Men Grapefriend. She may have just usurped the title though. First, we get both mom and daughter having Jadot Beaujolais Blanc at dinner. About 99% of Beaujolais is red and made from Gamay grapes, but the Blanc … Continue reading
heat from miami, ice from moet – all in a white goblet
Moët Ice Impérial is the official Champagne of the Miami Heat playoffs. Now that we have the news out of the way, we can get to the good part – namely, the hilarious SB Nation post about it. They show this kind of cheesy pic of the goblets: And they go, “Damn son, those goblets are so … Continue reading
