Sex. The City. And Champagne. Laurent Perrier to be specific (yum). I just did a SATC #tbt last month but I didn’t realize it’s now the show’s 15th anniversary, debuting 15 years ago today! The girls were partial to the Cosmo of course, but you know if it took place today they’d be rocking the grape … Continue reading
So much good stuff this month! First, lots of travel and wine-drinking all around the world: Gwen had this Malbec rosé in Brazil Leah went all over Napa Ed kicked it in Costa Rica (don’t you want to be there right now?) Annie popped mini bubbles on Nantucket Roxy snapped this wall o’ wine in … Continue reading
We all know how fun the wine sippy cup is – now there’s a super-sized one for even more summer awesomeness! And in a grapefriendy purple. The even better news is that 3 lucky grapefriends can win one! I could just do a boring sweepstakes giveaway, but that’s not the grapefriend way. And since everyone … 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
Even though we’re about to get full-force on summer, I have a perfect spring wine. It’ll also be good for summer, but there’s something about Grenache Blanc that is super springy. That might be because it has an amazing scent of hyacinth and honeysuckle flowers. It’s also got good white peach and yellow apple flavor. … Continue reading
Lots of gifts are given to the president. I mean hell, I get gifts and I’m just grapefriend so you can surmise that the leader of the free world gets some killer swag. Let’s just concentrate on the wine-related ones though, and see which country is the biggest grapefriend: portugal Professor Anıbal Cavaco Silva, president of Portugal: W&J … Continue reading
Finally! After two dry weeks, we are back on grapey track. Since this is so exciting, let’s get right to it. Once again, we have Megan to thank. First, before dinner she poured Don some Canadian Club but already had some wine in her own glass. No bottle in sight, but it was white. She’s … Continue reading
Raising a glass to everyone who makes this country awesome with one of America’s oldest grapes! Happy Memorial Day, grapefriends! Continue reading
April showers bring May flowers, but May flowers bring wine! This Sauvignon Blanc from Mondavi is great because its from the To Kalon vineyard. Full and lush apple and orange but still crisp. Hope you’re drinking well this Memorial Day weekend! Continue reading
Remember the movie Bottle Shock a few years ago? This is the wine that was in it, and has a big role in the history of wine in this country. Most people hear Chardonnay and think big and oaky – which is what most California Chardonnay is at this point. But that’s not how it … Continue reading
