4 awwwwesome bourbons for whiskey day

Posted on March 27, 2021 by grapefriend • 1 Comment

Today is International Whisk(e)y Day, one of those made-up holidays that celebrate a certain type of alcohol. I’m all for it, of course. You can learn about all the different types of whiskey (or whisky — learn why in the post) here, but since Mardi Gras wasn’t allowed to happen this year because of Covid I’m … Continue reading →

Ohhh I just love Southern Charm and the next season’s back on Bravo tonight! Pour yourself a glass of Gentry Bourbon, $53.99 here. It’s made by JD and of course our beloved but aimless Craig couldn’t manage to hold a job there for more than a season. Then click around on the site and wonder if … Continue reading →

more wine! what to drink for game of thrones

The last season is finally here! We’ve been granted so many amazing wine moments and met so many hardcore medieval grapefriends throughout the years, and I’ll be sad to see them go. All good goblets must be drained, however. Here are my bets on who will win the throne, and their grapey pairings: Dany: She … Continue reading →

Today is Mardi Gras, so make what’s known as the official cocktail of New Orleans! In the 1800s, apothecary owner Antoine Amedie Peychaud used to make his friends brandy toddies with his family’s bitters. (To measure the ingredients, he used a double-ended egg cup called a “coquetier,” which is where the word “cocktail” comes from!) … Continue reading →

Giving anything but grapes would just be completely un-grapefriendy or friend-y at all pretty much. So here’s my rundown of some great and fun bottles to give to all types of people in your life! token cheer Ah, the perennial holiday must: the token gift as a small but happy thanks to all sorts of … Continue reading →

cocktail friend: spring massey

I was looking for a good whiskey cocktail and came across a recipe for Raymond Massey cocktails (named after an actor). Those are rye, ginger syrup, champagne, and lemon peel. Well I couldn’t find ginger syrup and my friend has a bad reaction to champagne (tragic) so we improvised!  I created these Spring Massey cocktails: … Continue reading →

mad men wine count: ken’s rise and fall as king grapefriend

Posted on May 17, 2015 by grapefriend • 2 Comments

Ken Cosgrove has never been a key player on Mad Men. I mean I loved the “It’s my job” speech, but until this episode I’ve never felt riled up about him. But then, he popped a Chateau Margaux at dinner.  Suddenly, we have a new official grapefriend! Chateau Margaux is a grand cru from Bordeaux, and one … Continue reading →

how to throw the best mad men party ever

Posted on May 16, 2015 by grapefriend • Leave a comment

It’s the end of an era. And the most fitting way to send off Mad Men and its 60s-70s time period is with a fab cocktail party. Grapefriend always does a wine count for each episode, but a finale party should honor the most-loved alcohol on the show: whiskey (which I also love). I’ve scoured through … Continue reading →

Abby was out last week, leaving me to my own paltry plot devices. Luckily, she has returned… I’m back, Grapefriends! Sorry to have missed you last week in what was a very dramatic episode. To be honest, I really could have used a drink before this episode even started thanks to Scandal’s lead-in, Grey’s Anatomy … Continue reading →

Posted on April 5, 2015 by grapefriend • 4 Comments

The final seven episodes of Mad Men begin tonight! I don’t think there’s been any show where more people drink, and usually whiskey. Sales of whiskey have actually been up in the US in the past few years – if the cast was drinking real whiskey while filming the show, sales would’ve been through the roof! It got … Continue reading →
