Tasting: Barefoot Rosé

 Barefoot's Rosé


Name: Barefoot Rosé                        



Variety: Rosé 



Country: USA



Region: California 



Vintage Year: Nonvintage



Price: $6.99





Critic Review: "This is gently sweet, yet loaded with fresh watermelon flavor. Sweet cherry and red berry flavors burst onto the tongue. Light citrus rounds out the flavor. Teeny tiny bubbles play over the tongue even though this is not a bubbly varietal. Strawberry is very apparent with the tiniest hint of light floral. The finish is light and crisp with medium to light body." - The Intoxicologist 

Wine Folly: According to Wine Folly, one should expect flavors of strawberry, lemon zest, rose petals, honeydew, and rhubarb in rosé wines. Barefoot's Rosé has a dominant strawberry flavor followed by a sweet pear or apricot flavor. The rosé has a light body that makes it easy to drink alone. 

My Review: Barefoot's Rosé is the first sweet rosé I've drank. I enjoy drier wines more than sweet, but I enjoyed drinking Barefoot's Rosé. The sweetness was not overpowering, but light and gentle. The color was also beautiful too. It appeared to be a medium pink, not too light or dark. The wine had beautiful floral aromas that reminded me of cherry blossoms. Fans of fruity, berry-like flavors would be a fan of this wine. I would definitely purchase this wine again for a girl's night, it brings a plenty of value to the table.

Essenza Di Vita's Pinot Grigio Name: Essenza Di Vita Pinot Grigio  Variety:  Pinot Grigio            Country: Italy Region:  Delle Venezie  Vintage Year:  2019 Price:  $7.99 Critic Review: " Tropical nose of unripened guava and green mango. Grapefruit tongue with an aftertaste of grass. Surprisingly complex." - Michael Bertino on Vivono  Wine Folly:   According to Wine Folly, expected fruit flavors of Pinot Grigio are white peach, lemon zest, and  cantalope. Essenza Di Vita's Pinot Grigio tastes like a lemon zest explosion. There was also a hint of white peach, but the citrus flavor of the wine took dominated. The wine had a lighter body and high acidity.  My Review:   I enjoyed Essenza Di Vita's Pinot Grigio. I detected floral aromas after swirling and found that it was a little sweeter than typical Pinots. This Pinot Grigio was a little more acidic than I prefer, but I still enjoyed the flavor, ...

  Giretto's Pinot Grigio Name: Giretto Pinot Grigio        Variety :   Pinot Grigio Country:  Italy Region : Delle Venezie Vintage Year: 2019 Price : $5.49 Critic Review : "Taking a sip reveals surprising depth of flavor with tons of green apple, lime and touches of tropical fruit in this tart and tasty wine. And while there’s plenty of sweet tasting fruit, it’s a fairly dry wine which isn’t always common with Pinot Grigio at this low of a price point." - Jon Thorsen on Reverse Wine Snob Wine Folly:  I immediately tasted a zesty lemon flavor and a hint a cantalope. I did not taste crushed gravel or raw almond at all.  My Review:  This is the second pinot grigio I have ever had, but it tasted watered down. I had to put in a lot of effort to try to find the flavors of this wine. Giretto's Pinot Grigio was slightly dry to me and tasted very light. Although it comes with a great price, I wouldn't purchase this again      ...

Tasting: Artie Pinot Grigio

  Artie Pinot Grigio Name: Artie Pinot Grigio                          Variety:  Pinot Grigio Country:  Italy Region:  N/A Vintage Year:  Nonvintage Price:  $7.99 Critic Review: " Fruity but only in the sense that the 'fruity' taste absolutely blends itself in with the expected profile of a Pinot Gris. Not overly acidic, if at all. One criticism I’d have, if I were pushed to make a criticism, is that it’s a bit weak in overall profile."  - Nick Chudolij on Vivino  Wine Folly:  Pinot Grigio is characterized by flavors of white peach, lemon zest, cantalope, crushed gravel, and raw almond. I tasted lemon adn a hint of raw almond upon my first sip of Artie's Pinot Grigio. The wine was dry with a medium to light body with a medium acidity. Wine Folly recommended pairing Pinot Grigio with seafood, so I drank this wine with fish tacos I made at home. The wine and tacos balanc...
