  • Happy Wine Wednesday!

    Dec 30, 2009

    Hello there Foot Fans!

    Over on Twitter, the tweeters (is that what we're called?) have adopted this lovely hump day of the week as Wine Wednesday!

    Each week people tag their tweets with the hashtag #WineWednesday and it quickly becomes a trending topic. Wine Wednesday acts as a weekly celebration of wine. It is so fun!

    We hope you'll enjoy reading them as much as we enjoy discovering them on Twitter! Make sure you also take a minute and tell us below in the comments how YOU celebrate Wine Wednesday!

    Cheers!

    Your friends at Barefoot Wine

  • A Bubbly For All Seasons

    Dec 23, 2009

    Ahh, it is the time for giving, sharing, festive gatherings and cracking open a bottle of bubbly! While the months between Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are the most popular for drinking champagne, we (like our good friend The Intoxicologist) believe that sparkling wine and champagne shouldn’t be saved for just the special occasions.

    As the recent Newsleader.com article says, “There is no reason not serve a sparkling wine with a dinner, no matter how simple or ornate the dinner may be.” That’s why we’ve created a whole line of unique sparkling wines such as our Bubbly Rosé,  our Moscato Spumante or even our Bubbly Pinot Grigio Champagne!

    So we’d like to challenge you this winter to enjoy a glass of bubbly even when you have nothing to celebrate. Trade in your regular glass of wine for something that tingles your taste buds.

    We want to know, have you ever enjoyed a glass of bubbly even though you weren't celebrating anything? Have you ever paired a bubbly with food? Share your stories here!

    50280602-9e8f90634afc4faf0e5ecae0cb3145eb.4b2d049a-scaled_original

    Check out our friends above from LRQA Client Services in Houston, Texas, gettin' Barefoot this holiday!

    Hi Foot-Fans!

    Harvest is over and the vines are dormant, but we are far from done for the year!

    Our 2009 wines are beautiful and we are working on putting them in the bottle for you to enjoy!

    As we pass from 2009 to 2010, I hope you have a chance to celebrate the New Year with one of our Barefoot Bubbly California Champagnes. We offer 5 sparklers: from dry (Brut) to sweet (Moscato Spumante) and several in between. Be sure to ring in the New Year and ‘Get Barefoot and Have a Great Time!’

    We have many wonderful treats in store for you in 2010. Look for Barefoot California Pinot Noir and Riesling in 1.5L (double bottle) sizes in February. Other ‘toe’rrific treats to be revealed after we ring in the New Year.

    All the best to you and your family this holiday season!

    Enjoy and be safe!

    Cheers,

    Jen
