So Naomi Watts’ brother Ben debuted his rosé last night in NYC and ordered the sickest sunset as his backdrop. A limited run of 8,000 bottles will be sold at wineawesomeness.com, $18 each. It’s from Rioja and very light, like strawberry water. But I like how they say in their descrip that it’s “Perfect with everything, especially tans.” … Continue reading

Apparently Kobe’s new nickname is Vino. Apparently someone (“my man” – unidentified after that) gave it to him. And apparently he’s been trying to use it all over the place.

I applaud anyone farming organically, but don’t usually taste a difference. With biodynamics I usually do. OK so what is it?

Then in Mad Men‘s whip-you way, we got not just one but two wine scenes in the FIRST 15 minutes! Woo hoo. So let’s start with Joan’s dinner, with three glasses of Lancer’s … Continue reading
So after I did the post about Jennifer Lawrence drinking BV Cab in Hawaii, she found out about it and started tagging me in pics when she was drinking wine. With a total of four tags, she’s our March Grapefriend of the Month! We all now how big of a grapefriend she is, so this … Continue reading

No seriously, these people sell an abalone Grenache Blanc for $25: It’s not the abalone farm I went to but obsessed that they have their own wine: Chateau d’Abalone! @giovannisfish giovannisfishmarket.com/fish/Chateau-d… — grapefriend (@grapefriend) March 22, 2013 My Glossi … Continue reading
It may not feel like it, but it’s official today: SPRING. IS. HERE. I ordered a Sancerre a few weeks ago with some oysters, and my friend was like, “I can’t believe you’re ordering a white in the winter.” Please. I pop white and rosé based on mood and food all year round. I think … Continue reading
