I served a Barefoot Proseco last New Year at a Cheese Board dinner, along with a couple of Italian prosecos. The Barefoot was the clear favorite among our guests. So when I saw the Barefoot Pinot Noir at Walmart today for $4.98 a bottle, I figured what the heck.

It was delicious. Nothing complicated, a little sweet for a pinot, but very pleasant wine.

*13.5% alcohol

*The grapes are from California, but beyond that the label doesn't mention the specific AVA's.

*It's NV, but I assume it's a combination of the 2018 & 2019 vintages, although that's purely a guess.

At $5 a bottle, it's a steal

It's some good stuff, especially for the price.

I was doing a little reading about Barefoot today and evidently the riesling is their most popular wine.

I’m not an old man not Ot baller, but I drink boxed and cheap wine on the reg and have no shame. If I go out or buy good steaks or seafood then I’ll often buy some decent bottles. But for a daily or weekly table wine for a Tuesday dinner the wines like above are more than suitable.

We drink wine at my house every day of the year, so I'm always on the lookout for inexpensive wines to serve with everyday meals. I would definitely buy this wine again.

Same. Bota Box and Black Box are staples in our house. $19 for four bottles of wine is hard to beat. Some of their styles are better than others.

I know you’ve mentioned you like their Zinfandels, but man I love Ravenswood for an under $10 option.

B&G is also a decent wine for the money.

I do know my sister-in-law drinks her share of Barefoot wine, especially the reds like Merlot and Cabernet/Sauvignon.

I have almost stopped drinking cabernet sauvignon because its almost all horrible, except for in the upper price ranges. There are some cabs from Washington state and from Paso Robles and from Chile that I like, but in general I'm almost always disappointed these days by cabernet sauvignon.

We typically drink fairly cheap wine other than special occasions or good meals. This one has been a staple in our house for quite a while.
