Barefoot Wine has consistently been our favorite day in day out wine throughout the year and the holiday season is no exception with the 2011 Barefoot Bubbly Brut Cuvee release a great offering for the holidays with an unbelievable price point (10.00) and great, festive flavors including jasmine and apple as well as a crisp finish. This can be enjoyed throughout the entire season au naturel but for a great crowd pleasing cocktail try the Jingle Bellini-directions below
