Barefoot Wines

Post by Doktor Avalanche »

I was strolling through the mom & pop down the street from where I live when I came upon a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon by a winery named Barefoot.

Verdict: awesome!

Price: even moreso ($6.00).

I'm disturbed by their website. The homepage boasts one of their products that they describe as "juicy," which given the company name and the footprint on the bottle doesn't sound all that appetizing.

They're nice enough. Certainly less offensive than the godawful Yellow Tail that pollutes the low-to-middling range here on the East Coast. Even my grandfather produced better wine, and some of his vintages would've barely passed muster as salad vinegar.
