Barefoot Wines PDF Print E-mail
Color Magazine - Lifestyle
Written by Stephanie Brown   

Barefoot started as a "garage wine" back in the ‘60s, but Michael Houlihan and partner Bonnie Harvey decided to relaunch the brand 1986, stepping up what Barefoot was all about. They believe in making wine that is both delicious and affordable, that everyone from first-time wine consumers to hard-core aficionados could enjoy, and they have a female winemaker.

 

15_barefootmerlotIn 1995 Jennifer Wall became the winemaker for the Barefoot wines. She grew up thinking she'd go into biology or medicine. It wasn't until she spent a summer working in a wine lab in Sonoma County that she realized she wanted to apply her talents and curiosity to another field she'd come to love, the wine industry. (Ladies, there is room for many more women in the wine industry.) Since Jennifer has been at the helm, she has expanded the portfolio to ten wines and five sparklings. At Bon Vivant Wine we carry Barefoot Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

 

Barefoot is the most decorated wine under $10 with more than 250 awards. Including my favorite Barefoot wine, Merlot, the best value out of the bunch. The winemaker describes it as, "perfect for any occasion," and "has a decadent fruit-filled combination of red cherry, boysenberry and plum with melt-in-your-mouth chocolate notes and mild tannins to round out the flavors." I call it just plain yummy.

 

Try this wine with our many wonderful cuisines of Color. Think the flavors of Italian lasagna, BBQ pulled pork and herb roasted chicken.

 

The signature logo "the barefoot" looks like a foot on sand, which matches the company's charitable endeavors of investing in grass-roots sports, like volleyball and surfing, traditional to the California landscape. The Barefoot philosophy is to have fun while giving back.

 

Bon Vivant has Weekly Wine Tastings: Thursday - Saturday 5pm-7pm. For more information visit www.bonvivantwine.com.
