Barefoot wines truly took off in 1986 when visionary entrepreneurs Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey took over. He honored the name and added a footprint to the label, a kind of thank-you to California winemaker Davis Bynum.

In short, a delightful glass, especially at this price point. The Gallo family, who still produces this beautiful Barefoot wine series today, are true heroes in California.

Arroyo Seco, a growing area where the family has cultivated their grapes since the 1960s, is a renowned location for Chardonnay cultivation in California. Here, in a cool, long-growing environment with deep, gravelly soils, the Chardonnay grapes find their perfect balance of sugar and acidity. After careful selection, 90% of these grapes undergo fermentation in oak barrels, which impart vanilla and spicy notes, while the remaining 10% is aged in stainless steel vats to preserve their fruity essence. The result, after aging for ten months?
