Barefoot Cellars NV Sauvignon Blanc (California)

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $7

Nice and dry, with citrus flavors backed up with bright acidity that gets your tastebuds whistling. It’s a wine that calls for goat cheese, grilled veggies, sourdough baguettes, fried chicken, cold cuts and fresh fruit. In other words, a picnic. — S.H. (12/22/2011)

Barefoot Cellars 2000 Reserve Pinot Noir (Sonoma County)

— W.E. (5/1/2002)

Barefoot Cellars 2003 Reserve Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Price $15

You get a lot of Pinot character in this cool-climate wine, with its brisk acids, light, silky texture and pleasant flavors of cherries, raspberries, cola and spices. Those fruity flavors sink down deep and last a long time. — S.H. (11/15/2005)

Barefoot Cellars 2004 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Alexander Valley)

Price $13

So good, so refreshing, you can taste the sunshine in every savory sip of this delightful wine. It’s packed with sweet citrus fruits, tangy gooseberry, ripe fig and white pepper flavors, set up against crisp, bright acids. Finishes tart and puckery, preparing the palate for food. — S.H. (11/15/2005)

Barefoot Cellars 1997 Reserve Chardonnay (Sonoma)

Online Exclusive

A very drinkable chardonnay from this well-known producer of bargain priced wines. Clean and not overly manipulated with pleasing pear and spice aromas and flavors. The oak is nicely integrated (a pleasant surprise) and ends with a mildly spicy finish of moderate length. — M.M. (6/1/2003)

Barefoot Cellars 2001 Sauvignon Blanc (California)

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $6

A brisk, tart white wine that scours the palate with lemony flavors and leaves the throat feeling fresh and clean. The vibrancy of its lines, and the sleek, acidic structure are softened by a very slight residual sugar in the finish. — S.H. (1/1/2004)

Barefoot Cellars NV Cabernet Sauvignon (California)

Best Buy

Price $7

For seven bucks (and probably less than that in selected markets) you get a very nice Cabernet Sauvignon. Only Gallo consistently knows how to do this kind of stuff, making a wine that’s so rich and flavorful at this everyday price, which is a full dollar less than last year. — S.H. (11/15/2008)

Barefoot Cellars 2000 Reserve Merlot (Russian River Valley)

Price $17

A young wine, from the dark, blue-black color to the immature aromas of blackberry jam and oak. In the mouth, the tannins strike hard and fast, followed up by acidity. But there’s a solid core of blackberry fruit. This wine demands cellaring. Try after 2004. —S.H. — S.H. (2/1/2003)

NV Exclusiv Rose Spumos

Grapy and floral with loads of rose petal notes, this Moscato is…
