Things continue to be horridly non-grapey on Scandal. I’ll let Abby walk you through the non-wine plot and get back to snoring… Well, Liv didn’t die at the hands of her kidnappers. I KNOW…HUGE NON-SHOCKER. The most realistic part of this episode was Quinn admitting that she couldn’t get that red wine stain out of the … Continue reading
Drinks served on St. Patrick’s Day are usually green-dyed beer and maybe wine. You can’t really even just honor Ireland by drinking an Irish wine since there’s very little grape growing there, although there are a few vineyards and producers which are mostly in Country Cork. But let’s face it – no one in the … Continue reading
Not gonna lie, I usually drink my whiskey all on its own. Every once in a while, I think it’s great in a cocktail especially if you have a flavored bourbon or something that’s a little too sweet to just sit and sip on. An Old Fashioned is a pretty classic bourbon drink, but we’ve … Continue reading
Whiskey Week happy hours have to involve whiskey – or whisky in this case (and we now know the difference). This is a Balblair single malt scotch from the Highlands with a light orange/lemony flavor. The cool thing is that Balblair always releases vintage whisky, which means that all the whisky in the bottle was laid … Continue reading
If you’ve seen Breakfast at Tiffany‘s (I have, oh 1 or 763 times), you may recall Mag Wildwood. She’s a slightly annoying model (“a thumping bore” as Holly describes her) who crashes Holly’s awesome party and calls out through her stutter for a boy to bring her a bourbon. It may be her one redeeming quality. Bourbon drinking … Continue reading
Hate being cold. Hate winter. One bright spot that utter frigid weather brings me is the perfect moment for whiskey drinking! Whiskey’s like an internal space heater. I’m obsessed – started off with bourbon, ventured into scotch, and just discovered Japanese whisky which is amazing too. Since we’ve got a few more winter weeks ahead … Continue reading
A little break in the South American wine action to bring you some Argentinian cocktail love! On my last night in Buenos Aires, went to this super cool bar called Floreria Atlantico. You have to walk through a small flower shop/wine store and go down these rickety spiral stairs to get to the bar. Loved … Continue reading
Just a little Friday fun. I love the “DESERT – THIRSTY” part! So where would you most want to live based on imbibing? Grapefriend would clearly have to reside in Europe. Continue reading
Bukowski and whiskey = NO BRAINER. I love this entire ad, except I want to smack a grapefriend logo on at the end instead of Dewar’s. I’ve never even had Dewar’s, which apparently is the top-selling blended Scotch in the US. But since I drink whiskey way less frequently than wine, I go for good … Continue reading
I’m changing the name of the show from Mad Men to Mad Grapefriends. Once again, no wine in the whole episode. Started out per usual with Don sippin on the brown juice. But all was downhill from there, even for cocktails really. Don could’ve been drinking wine out if that high tumbler by the pool, … Continue reading
