So after I did the post about Jennifer Lawrence drinking BV Cab in Hawaii, she found out about it and started tagging me in pics when she was drinking wine. With a total of four tags, she’s our March Grapefriend of the Month! We all now how big of a grapefriend she is, so this … Continue reading
I was watching The Rachel Zoe Project last night, and when she was talking about how designers have to choose all of these different elements like material, accessory details, and color and bring them together into one piece, I was thinking it’s really similar to winemakers. They have to make decisions about grapes, barrels, temperature … Continue reading
As you know, mini wine sippy cups crack me up but this one is ten times better because it’s an actual glass inside the sippiness. (Still plastic though.) I wrote about these Vino2Go ones in my Holiday Gift Guide because honestly, other than wine, could there be a better gift? They were unfortunately sold out then – … Continue reading
Reese Witherspoon just: a) turned 37 b) went to Cabo with her husband Jim Toth c) celebrated with rosé – twice All of the above of course. Happy birthday, grapefriend! follow @grapefriend on Twitter for more grapey fun Continue reading
I just went down a really weird hole looking at wine-related Hey Girl memes. And since Ryan Gosling‘s not making any movies for a while, these should tide you over. I swear I’m not even into Ryan Gosling, but these just started making me laugh. Clearly we need a new meme “Hey Grapefriend.” follow @grapefriend on Twitter … Continue reading

Had dinner with three winemakers from there and not only do they have good wine they are hilarious. year: 2011 yum factors: I got Gonzaga going all the way in my March Madness bracket. Yeah, that’s right, I said Gonzaga. I go bold … Continue reading
It may not feel like it, but it’s official today: SPRING. IS. HERE. I ordered a Sancerre a few weeks ago with some oysters, and my friend was like, “I can’t believe you’re ordering a white in the winter.” Please. I pop white and rosé based on mood and food all year round. I think … Continue reading
I’d never had abalone before last week, but now I want to have it all the time. That’s probably not gonna happen since apparently it’s kind of rare and sort of expensive from what I heard from the people drooling over the pictures I was posting. So at least I had it at the Ocean … Continue reading
Love stories like this – the random grapes, the entrepreneurship via social media, the awesome attitude in video slate cards. This winemaker Regan Medor is a dude who likes weird grapes. I have literally never even heard of Teroldego, but it’s a red grape from Alto Adige (which I’m mildly obsessed with) and that’s what … Continue reading
