Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Barefoot Cellars
Color: White
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc
Vintage: NA
Country/State: California
Region: Various
Price: $6
Stars: 3 (out of 5)

We drank this wine tonight after dinner as we prepared to leave on a 10 day vacation with the kids. We're headed north to Richmond, VA to visit my brother and his family, then over to Lexington, KY for the kids' first visit to UK. I don't know who's more excited, me or them!

The wine was served well-chilled and was crisp and refreshing. The aroma and taste were primarily white fruits, pear and apple. For our tastes, we definitely prefer the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, but for the price, the Barefoot was just what we needed as we packed.

About This Blog

The main purpose of this blog is to provide an outlet for my wife and I to keep track of and easily organize wines as we buy them, drink them, and review them. Although we have been drinking wine for years, we really developed a strong interest in wine in the late summer of 2008. From about August of 2008 through mid-March of 2009, we consumed approximately 35 bottles of wine. I have tried to keep track of these wines and our feelings about them, primarily through the use of Excel spreadsheets. I am hoping that this blog will allow us to accomplish some of these goals more effectively and interactively. I briefly summarized these wines in the first post of the blog. Subsequently, I will post more detailed notes regarding our tastings as we look to expand our palates and continue our journey of exploring the world of wine. Along the way, I will try to make notes about my wine-related influences and provide links to some of my favorite sources on the web. Occasionally, I may post about other life events or happenings in the world of sports and music, two of my other passions.
