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!

Here are some of the best tweets from the week:

Happy 2010 Barefooters! We hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve! We were thrilled to see Barefoot Bubblies popping up in blogs all over the web this NYE. We've gathered a few of the many news blogs that recommended us this New Year's Eve and have shared them with you below.

Hey Foot-Fans!

We wanted to share with you some behind the scenes images of singer Robin Thicke and DJ Vanessa James getting Barefoot and enjoying our Bubbly Mango Mimosas at The Beat 103.5's studios!

The Mango Mimosa is one of our Tropical Mimosas and is so easy to make!

All you need is the following:

• Barefoot Bubbly Brut
• Fresh Mango Juice

Instructions:

1) Fill a champagne flute halfway with Barefoot Bubbly Brut
2) Finish with fresh mango juice
3) Garnish with a slice of mango (or create a pulp and add to the bottom of the flute)

Delicious!

We've added the full gallery of images to our Facebook page so make sure you stop in and check them out!

Love how 1WineDude is helping us spread the word about making a lasting #impression!

"Wine is bottled poetry" - Robert Stevenson. We'd have to agree with that and how kind for our friend Bernadette to show us so much love. What a compliment :)

We love this #impression that Rob shared so kindly. What a great lesson to learn and so awesome of him to share it with us and participate in helping us make a lasting impression!

There are so many amazing people who have taken a few minutes this week to spread the word about making a lasting Impression. We're so grateful for people like Kaitlin who took just a few seconds to support our friends at Life Rolls On.

Love Dawana's tweet. Sounds like an extremely happy fridge ;)

Hey Foot Fans,

Who has made a lasting impression on you?

In honor of the launch of Barefoot Impression, now available for a limited time only in The Barrel Room, Barefoot Wine is asking you to tell us: Who has made a lasting impression on you?

When was the last time someone did something that made a lasting impression on you? Share your Impression stories for a cause at: www.barefootwineimpression.com. It only takes few moments and each Impression adds up to a financial donation to our non-profit friends Kiva and Life Rolls On .

Hey Barefoot Republic!

This weekend we wrapped up our Walk MS Campaign at LEGOLAND in Carlsbad, CA!  It was a great success!  Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were not able to walk Barefoot like planned, but had a chance to have a great time with nearly 5000 Foot Fans anyway!  Over the course of the weekend we had nearly 500 new members sign up for the Barefoot Republic!  They loved that we were supporting the cause they care about so much, Multiple Sclerosis! 

The best part was all the support we got from our Barefoot friends and family.  When all is said and done and the donations have been tallied, Team Barefoot Wines will have raised over $2000 to help fight Multiple Sclerosis!  We're still working on raising more though!  Pease visit our team page at www.mswalk.com/teambarefootwine.

Get Barefoot and have a great time everyone!
