In a land where almost every guy wears Carhartt (I didn’t know what it was til I went there either), they’re making some good wine. We tried a ton when we visited Walla Walla and Red Mountain AVAs during the week. Then we headed to Seattle for the weekend to hit up Taste Washington, a huge event full of … Continue reading
Who needs roses when you can have rosé??? Or in this bottle’s case, you an have it all! Continue reading
LOVED this, so seriously just go buy it! This is our third crémant in Fizzmas – so many good ones from all over France. Crémant from the Loire requires hand-picked grapes, light pressing, and long maturation. This Langlois sparkling rosé is all Cabernet Franc (the predominant red grape in the Loire) and packed with just-picked strawberry … Continue reading
First, I have to thank my grapefriend Abby for bringing this to my attention. We were at a party last night and I was so exhausted that I had to leave and go straight to bed, missing SNL completely. Luckily, she did not. Second, I’d like to thank SNL for recognizing that the Red Zone … Continue reading
What an awesome weather month we had! Not too hot, not too cold, but every once in a while a chill enough where you wanted to pop open a light red.

Some crazy person posted a photo of a stew she was cooking with the caption “Ready for fall!” First of all, we’ve got weeks of warm weather left. Second of all, never be ready for something so horrific. To that point, who’s still keeping the rosé drinking going strong? My top choices are on Cosmo today, paired with … Continue reading
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I dig this rosé. All Syrah, from Washington state, cool label, totally watermelon-raspberry deliciousness. $11, great every day go-to. Perfect pairing: friends and summer nights, whole bottle required. 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
Oh hi, and welcome to the North Fork, where when you arrive you’re greeted with a chair full of rosé on each arm. I went to Croteaux last year if you recall, the only winery in the US that makes only rosé which I think is pretty rad. Most of their rosé is made from … Continue reading
