new mexican wine mystery
So last night I was at the Mermaid Inn Oyster Bar where they have Happy Hour – $6 wine by the glass. They had a Pinot Grigio from Veneto (not my fave), Pinot Noir from Chile (not with oysters), and a sparkling rosé from New Mexico. Obv, I had to give the NM wine a … Continue reading
happy smart happy hour!
Happy Pinot Noir happy hour! In my other life I meet smart people through work and have great drinks convos with them. Also, they wait for grapefriend to arrive to pick the wine! This rosé is from the Loire and very yummy. Continue reading
ramona and luann – grape fight!
Grapefriend had other stuff going on the week of LuAnn’s infamous blind tasting set up challenge to Ramona. Recap: LuAnn and her wine boyfriend were doing a blind wine tasting, Ramona called the wine lacking in depth and flavor, and it turned out to be the Ramona Pinot Grigio she endorses. Wine fight! In Ramona’s … Continue reading

rich kids drinking on instagram
This Tumblr “Rich Kids of Instagram” went up two weeks ago, and it is amazing. Private jets, Hamptons houses, ocean backflips out of helicopters, partying with large-format bottles of bubbly. Basically, mildly nauseating and everything you’d like to be doing right now. Grapefriend has been obsessed with all the pics of these kids wielding Dom … Continue reading
fun with rosé labels
Lately I’ve been thinking about wine labels – good ones and sucky ones. It shouldn’t matter what’s on the label, but since it happens (really often) that you’re buying something in the store you’ve never tried, you do sort of go by the label. And the cliché about judging a book by its cover is … Continue reading
drink me: fab french rosés
Maybe some of you have been waiting all week for French rosé day, but grapefriend doesn’t roll like that. Still, most people just think France when they think rosé and with good reason: it produces most of the world’s rosé, and the pink juice actually outsells white wine in France. Provence is the major player, as it produces … Continue reading
drink me: spiffy spanish rosados
First, let’s get the vocab lesson out of the way: in Spain, rosé is called rosado. (It’s rosé in America and France, and rosato in Italy.) Second, let’s discuss how awesome Spanish rosados are: amazing, incredible, yummy! They tend to be darker in color, and full of ripe, juicy red berry flavors. (And btw, that doesn’t mean … Continue reading
