This is totally a day delayed because I suck. Abby was fully at the ready and I’ll let her take it from here! The last Scandal of 2014 really packed in a lot of lip quivering, Shonda-style dramatic dialogue, talk of both Vermont and the sun, and of course…wine. We even came full circle as … Continue reading

scandal wine recap: last supper, best wine
I totally thought last night was the winter finale – but now I realize we have one episode left for grapey goodness. I hand you over to Abby who knows much more about B-613 than I do (I’m all wine, not warring). Buckle up, grapefriends! This is the episode before the much-promoted winter finale which … Continue reading
scandal wine recap: red in bed
First, apologies for the delayed recap: Grapefriend and I were eating and drinking our way through New Orleans the past few days. I’m just sorry we couldn’t bring back beignets and praline bacon for you all! But not to worry, Scandal-watching was top priority upon return. wine moment #1 (and only) There wasn’t a lot … Continue reading
scandal wine recap: no wine for sucky boyfriends!
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
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
scandal wine recap: don’t go changing – your drink
First, let me just say that was a blockbuster of an episode. Wow. So many major monologues, so many feels. Also, I learned what Eiffel Towering is. Yes, I had to Google it. Does that make me an old? A prude? Both? I don’t know. I am, however, fairly certain that Karen Grant was not … Continue reading
scandal wine recap: wine gets all dirty
Last night’s episode was so good – and so grapey! Let’s get right to it with Abby… It took about 20 minutes to get to our first wine moment on last night’s Scandal but once the drinking started, it thankfully didn’t stop. Let’s leave the martinis to Cyrus’ new escort friend and the second-best scotch … Continue reading
scandal wine recap: the du bellay does not exist
The Scandal grapes kept coming in Week 2! Take it away, Abby! The second episode of the season sees everyone getting back into their normal work routines, especially Liv who (as we’re reminded multiple times) is no longer “standing in the sun” with Jake. She is, however, jogging with him—presumably working off all those giant … Continue reading
scandal wine recap: island wine vs fixing wine
Our Scandal wine recaps are back!!! Take it away, Abby… Scandal’s BACK. I’m BACK (thanks, Grapefriend!), and by the end of the hour Olivia is BACK doing what she does best, though perhaps to the detriment of her emotional health. Above all else the wine is BACK in a big old plot-driving way. wine moment … Continue reading
what olivia pope SHOULD be drinking on the beach
Scandal is back tonight, and a while ago they released this teaser to get everyone all excited: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8ZM6lt8BxM 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 … Continue reading
