buffalo chicken mac and cheese – with wine

Posted on November 4, 2014 by grapefriend • 5 Comments

One of my favorite places on the Upper West Side is Fred’s, which has some of the sickest mac and cheese ever made (not to mention carafes of goldfish crackers at the bar). Whenever I take my nephews there, they always get the buffalo chicken version which is pretty damn awesome. My sister attempted to … Continue reading →

cocktail friend: the pesca bacio

Posted on July 14, 2014 by grapefriend • 1 Comment

The white sangria recipe was such a hit that it inspired us to create another white-wine cocktail variation this weekend. This punch I made up was delicious but I couldn’t think of a fun name, so threw it out to grapefriends. Leave it our clever drinkers to come up with some fun ones. I loved … Continue reading →

the white sangria summer rule

Posted on July 7, 2014 by grapefriend • 7 Comments

A new summer rule has been established: you must have a few pitchers of white sangria before Labor Day. First, it’s totally refreshing. Second, it’s therefore sooo much cooler than red sangria. Third, is there anything better than wine-soaked fruit??? I put this up on Instagram and Twitter yesterday and everyone was asking for the … Continue reading →

memorial grapes and eats

Posted on May 27, 2014 by grapefriend • 2 Comments

As another awesome kickoff to summer passes, let us remember the fantastic summer meals we made this weekend. Along with their grapey pairings, of course. First, I made veal saltimbocca, which no one guessed based on this lovely little Vine. What are we making for dinner? https://t.co/RuSV9QIrsV — grapefriend (@grapefriend) May 24, 2014 You basically … Continue reading →

boeuf bourguignon – or bordelais?

Posted on February 17, 2014 by grapefriend • 5 Comments

Boeuf Bourgignon is the best winter dinner. Pair this hearty stew with a hearty red and I could almost be fooled into thinking winter isn’t my most-loathed season. But even though it’s called Bourgignon, which means it’s from Burgundy, I usually don’t use a Burgundy to make it or even drink one with it. Burgundy’s … Continue reading →

festive fizzy cocktails

Posted on December 20, 2013 by grapefriend • 2 Comments

Who doesn’t love a fizzy cocktail? So refreshing, and a fully acceptable way to celebrate Fizzmas. During the holidays I love getting in the spirit (pun intended) with something festively red! (One below isn’t red because I love gingery Domaine de Canton – but that one can be festively golden like a Christmas tree star.) … Continue reading →

save wine, don’t brine

Posted on November 26, 2013 by grapefriend • 7 Comments

I realized I never posted the results of last year’s wine brine project. Well here they are: BIG WASTE OF TIME! even worse, BIG WASTE OF WINE!!! To recap, I’d never brined before. And by me I mean my mom, because let’s face it she’s the one cooking pretty much the whole meal. Honestly, if … Continue reading →

more fall yumness!

Posted on November 3, 2013 by grapefriend • 3 Comments

Fall flavors are in full swing. I was craving squash, as you do this time of year, and found this recipe which was SO FREAKING GOOD. Trust me, just make it. And pair it with this yummy Anaba Chardonnay. I’m not normally the biggest fan of full-bodied California Chards, but damn this was perfect with this dish … Continue reading →

cocktail friend: pat field fashion week find

Posted on September 6, 2013 by grapefriend • 2 Comments

It’s Fashion Week! Instead of detailing any clothes or anything (why would we do that on grapefriend?), let’s just detail the favorite liqueur of one of my favorite stylists, Pat Field. As the costume designer for Sex and the City, Pat is basically half the reason the show was so popular. And one of her drinks of … Continue reading →
