It's summer and it's time for a handful of inexpensive bottles that you can throw on ice and enjoy with whatever you've got on the grill. For example, here's a trio of Gallo's Barefoot Wines from California. NV Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc
100% Sauvignon Blanc
California
$7, 13% abv.
Light, gentle lime peel flavor, round mouthfeel with low acid and a soft finish. Recommended as an appetizer wine with those bacon wrapped shrimp coming off the fire.
NV Barefoot Zinfandel
100% Zinfandel
California
$7, 13% abv.
Big and jammy with dark fruit. Dominant profile of black plum with undertones of cherry. A good burger and pizza wine.
NV Barefoot Pinot Noir100% Pinot Noir
California
$7, 12.5% abv.
This is a fairly restrained and quiet wine, with mild blackberry aroma, no tannins, and a short finish. I ended up converting this into some really delicious sangria with the help of oranges, triple sec, and a few other bits of magic. And for the price, you could make all kinds of red wine cocktails with it.
Note: These wines were provided as samples.
