It’s our final Scandal wine recap (so sad), and Abby’s back with deep and meaningful insight into the inner workings of this show as grapefriend plies her with wine. First, let me just say that grapefriend sure knows how to throw the BEST #ScandalFinale party in town. We had goblets of wine and more popcorn than … Continue reading
Tonight’s the Scandal finale, and any good gladiator grapefriend will be grabbing their glass and pouring out copious amounts of red wine. Here are a few essential tips for your viewing party: most importantly, what WINE to drink??? Red, red, and then some more red. And good red. Olivia has mentioned drinking Bordeaux (love, but it … Continue reading
So everywhere I went in Washington I kept seeing a musical theme – in wines, in wineries. At Gorman Winery in Woodinville, they have a bunch of guitars hanging on the wall. In fact, Black Sabbath was playing as we walked in and sampled some wines straight from the barrel. Chris wants to start a metal band and … Continue reading
In a land where almost every guy wears Carhartt (I didn’t know what it was til I went there either), they’re making some good wine.

I’m ready… — Roger Sterling (@NYRogerSterling) April 11, 2014 Between Scandal, Game of Thrones, and now … Continue reading
Just yesterday I was sort of groaning that we were in for a few years of people over-swooning about Baby George photos. But then I got the grapefriend equivalent of cute baby pics: William and Kate touring a vineyard in New Zealand! They toured Amisfield Vineyard in Central Otago, which is a region known for its Pinot … Continue reading

I mean, Liv was having a prime scenario in which to get her grape on: namely, having a torturous late night in-the-dark phone … Continue reading
Scandal wine recaps are back, thanks to our Gladiator Grapefriend Abby Gardner and the fact that wine made its reappearance on the show! Phew! It’s been a long couple of weeks, gladiators and grapefriends. But at last, Scandal is back in the wine game where it belongs! While we’d like to assume that Liv has been … Continue reading
