When I saw this bottle on the shelf it didn’t appeal to me. Of course I know that wine and feet have a long intermingled history, but I’d just rather not be thinking about feet while I’m sipping the stuff. I was content to pass on wine with the foot on the label, but my girlfriend wanted to try it and so I bought a bottle. What I got was an excellent Chardonnay at an excellent price! It’s a big Chardonnay with big flavor and a big, soft, slightly buttery mouthfeel. A wine that tastes like it should sell for triple the price. If you’re looking for a good Chardonnay on a budget, put Barefoot at the top of your shopping list.
