More Barefoot Wine please!

barefootlogo More Barefoot Wine please!

Barefoot wines were originally introduced in 1965 by self-taught California winemaker Davis Bynum. After years of making “garage-style” home wines, Bynum opened up a winery in Alameda Davis and released Barefoot Bynum Burgundy for sale in his tasting room only.

In 1986, Michael Houlihan and his partner Bonnie Harvey purchased the brand and set about reviving “the Foot.” They launched the new “Barefoot Cellars” with two varietals: Barefoot California Cabernet Sauvignon and Barefoot California Sauvignon Blanc.

Barefoot is involved in thousands of charitable events worldwide.

I love a glass of wine every now and then to relax and wind down. Doesn’t everyone?! Barefoot Wines sent me two bottles to try Zinfandel andBrut Cuvée Champagne…that’s after the hubby and I went out and bought a delicious White Zinfandel by Barefoot. My best friend and cousin through marriage read my tweet that I was sitting down to have a glass of wine with dinner and she replied “Barefoot white zin is the best stuff on earth… seriously… love it!” The White Zinfandel is crisp. It has a light hint of fruit taste. The bottle says flavors like Georgia peach and pineapple, sun-ripened strawberries and succulent pear. Yum. I was a little worried when I saw that Barefoot sent a Zinfandel (red) wine. You see I can’t drink even just a glass of red wine without feeling like I’ve spent a night out on the town throwing back shots. No next day hangover. Yeah! It had a strong full taste, but not overbearing. This red wine would be perfect for a Sangria! We have a Brut Cuvée Champagne to try this weekend in celebration for a house warming party. I’ll definitely update with my thoughts on the Champagne.

    I'm totally intrigued by the thought of a bubbly Pinot! One year our Merlot got bubbly by accident but turned out to be really good.. until a couple of the bottles EXPLODED in the cellar.. not fun! This has to be one of my ALL TIME favorite giveaways.. even better than a Target card … and that's sayin' somethin'!!!

  17. Kristin said..

    just found your giveaway from Chix Nuggets Mama- so the tweeting thing is working! My fav is pinot grigio- with anything! But if I have to pick something, I'll say a caprice salad b/c that's what I'm craving now!

    They don't have it listed at their site, but they have a new Pinot Noir-with a cute pink label-in stores in my area. The Chardonnay is delightful, too! Thanks for the opportunity. SITS sent me by, and I'm glad they did…

  26. Julie said..

    I don't really know jack about wine other than I like a glass now and then. I'd like to try the pinot grigio (sp?). What would I eat it with..I dunno. Maybe some pasta.

  27. Kathryn said..

    I love White Zin!! I would have to serve chesse with my wine as well!! Hope I will. Found you on SITS.

  28. Eva Gallant said..

    Mmm… I think the Pinot Grigio sounds fantastic. I want to get a chunk of cheese (cheddar is fine!), a knife, a loaf of crusty bread and some apples and take this out for a picnic!
