No one deserves a glass more than people who fight for us to be free. CHEERS. Love this Charles & Charles rosé. My go-to for quick and easy drinking, Walla Walla, Syrah-based and $14 or less depending on where you find it. Continue reading

mad men wine count: don. opened. wine.
I’m doing two posts in one since I was away last week, which is a huge shame since last week contained the greatest Mad Men wine scene in the history of the show: DON OPENED A BOTTLE OF WINE! Don Draper. Opening wine. https://t.co/ffjGwSXJCE — grapefriend (@grapefriend) May 26, 2014 We didn’t see them drink … Continue reading

perfect pink bubbles for spring
It’s finally spring!!! The flowers, the dresses, the sandals, and now special spring Champagne! Perrier Jouet just created a cuvee entriely inspired and dedicated to spring. I like this kind of thinking both for its warm-weather mental space and its rose-sipping mental space. The Edition Premiere (must be said with fun frilly French accent) has … Continue reading
happy saturday night happy hour!
First course: Cab. Last course: cake. Love this Cliff Lede – all the vineyards are named after rock songs. And I highly recommend chocolate cake with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups – but not with the wine. Not a of chocolate and wine, except for ruby port. TIP: Dessert wine should always be sweeter than your … Continue reading

Many people have said “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.” Can’t really replicate one art form with another – unless you’re writing poems about wine! Why haven’t we done more of this? Rhone Valley Wines had a brilliant event where they poured out wines from different regions of the Rhone and then had … Continue reading

met gala winner: taylor swift, by a mile
Last night was the annual Met Gala, where everyone in fashion and then a bunch of Anna Wintour blessed celebrities wear the best designer dresses. The pink! The flapper! The side boob! Everyone spends a lot of time talking and tweeting about all the choices. Well, the fashion world has been waiting for me to … Continue reading
mad men wine count: i knew i loved pete
It took a few episodes, but we finally got some actual drinking of wine! It came in the very first scene where Pete was having dinner with his Betty-lookalike girlfriend Bonnie in LA. It was outdoors, they were drinking white. I guess the early Napa bottlings hadn’t made it onto wine lists in the late … Continue reading
what they drank at the white house correspondents dinner
With all the reporters in the room at the White House Correspondents Dinner, you’d think we would’ve known what wines were on the menu much sooner than we did. But it was all about arrivals and pre-parties without any mention of grapes. Clearly everyone was feeling very off duty. But finally we got a tweet … Continue reading
