5 things to love about new zealand wine

Posted on March 28, 2018 by grapefriend • 3 Comments

When it comes to New Zealand wine, you probably think about the punchy, tropical, zesty Sauvignon Blancs. Fair enough, since that’s 72% of their production. People there sometimes call it Savvy B which I thought was sort of funny, but then a winemaker told me to never cheapen it like that. I’d rather have my … Continue reading →

mad men wine: we’ve entered jug-land

Posted on April 13, 2015 by grapefriend • Leave a comment

Who knew the 70s were so grapey? Well, at least they are for our Official Mad Men Grapefriend, Megan. She starts off the episode in California, with a glass poured out from a big ol’ jug of Almaden. Jugs of wine were huge in the 70s. I remember growing up as a kid that my … Continue reading →

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 →

Only one more week til the Winter Finale – so drink up this penultimate weekly wine recap, grapefriends, and take it away, Gabby – haha, Abby! Was everyone too busy doing actual work to drink a lot of wine in this episode? Apparently. But I’d say it weakened Olivia as she couldn’t see through the … Continue reading →

scandal wine recap: not cheap, just not snobby

Posted on October 24, 2014 by grapefriend • 5 Comments

Last night had one of my fave wine moments ever! Take it away, Abby… There was a LOT of drinking during last night’s ep though a lot of it was in the form of whiskey. I think my favorite drunk was David Rosen who had one of the episode’s best lines, “Many of my predecessors were esteemed … Continue reading →

what olivia pope SHOULD be drinking on the beach

Posted on September 25, 2014 by grapefriend • 3 Comments

Scandal is back tonight, and a while ago they released this teaser to get everyone all excited: All quite exciting that Olivia’s taking a break from the drama to kick it except for one thing: she’s drinking red wine on the beach. VILE! Now I love Liv’s obsession with wine, but she’s gotta veer away … Continue reading →

Just got back from an incredible trip to Alto Adige, a wine region nestled in the super high, super gorgeous Tyrolean Alps. I’ve loved the region ever since I had my first sip of crispy Kerner a few years ago, so I was stoked to head there in person to drink a lot more. Here were … 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 →
