I really hate the term “millennials” but that doesn’t mean I hate them. Here are a few awesome things I’ve learned in my grapey travels (aka research) that make my palate smile: they love wine “37% of Millennials say beer is their drink of choice, compared to 41% of Generation Xers. The shift is toward wine; … Continue reading
Jimmy Fallon debuted the cover of his new comedy album, which comes out this summer. He’s lounging by a fireplace, pants-less but drinking a glass of red wine. “It’s just a guy relaxing at home,” he said on his show. “He has a nice glass of wine. … Started listening to the album and his … Continue reading
If you’re anxiously awaiting this week’s Mad Men Wine Count, it sadly isn’t happening today. I’m on vacation and will have to tally the glasses next week. Hope there’s lots to count! xoxo grapefriend Continue reading
I thought we were on a major grape swing after last week’s whopping 9 glasses of wine. But next week never knows what will happen, and at the 45 minute mark we were still totally wine-less.

We all know that our activity is releasing tons of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide … Continue reading

Obviously, wine got a better agent because it’s really getting a bigger role this season! Last night, it even entered the dialogue. When Joan was having dinner with Greg and the parents, there was one of those straw-covered bottles of wine on the table. This bottle’s called a fiasco – so aptly named since the … Continue reading
There are only two things I like about Megan: 1) her insane wardrobe 2) she was the only person who drank wine last night Megan did have some perspicacity in this episode about Betty just wanting to find a reason to keep calling Don, but in general I find the old guy/new young wife storylines … Continue reading
I’ll admit I’m not a Hello Kitty fanatic, but I know a lot of people are. I don’t totally get it but it’s just a fact I’ve stopped questioning, like why some people tolerate or even like mayonnaise. Anyway, yummy Ladurée just came out with limited-edition Hello Kitty macarons (though they aren’t even shaped like … Continue reading
