Let's not forget BAREFOOT wines, red and white. They stole the name from me. It's not bad, under $10 and sometimes Publix has a two for the price of one sale!

Oh, that gives me an idea. Next time I'm in town the same time as you, I'd like to get some friends together and organize a Barefoot wine and cheese party. You'll be the guest of honor. What fun.

I'm in. Should we come barefoot??

GG, as long as you're not barefoot and pregnant. PTurner, any excuse for a party .... I'm in.

Oh whoops, back to topic. Remember chianti in baskets with candle wax dripping over the basket? Takes me back to the 70s.

Barefoot moscato....count me in too!!!

Barefoot Pinot Grigio....heavy on the ice....I'm driving! Count me in! :)

Great idea, GG. We'll all come barefoot. And back to the topic...

My favorite red is a good old vine Zin. But don't order a Zin at Longhorn. Don't remember the label, but it was not good at all. Favorite white is Pino Grigio or Riesling.

I generally prefer reds. And yes Bare, I do remember those Chianti bottles in baskets with the candle wax. Might be why I've never developed a taste for Chianti. No wait, I did have a Chianti once at an Italian restaurant that I liked a lot, though I've had some I didn't care for at Italian restaurants. I don't remember the one I liked, but perhaps, as Cabo advises, it had a black rooster. Must remember that and try one just to see if I like it.

Moscato for white and malbec for red...........

Rose
 

Last night a friend brought a bottle of rose from Biltmore Eatate in Ashville, NC. They actually have a winery there. It was called Christmas in Biltmore. This 2009 Cabernet Franc was not bad. Cabernet Franc of Chinon is very popular in Paris not expensive. I like it. Popular white wines in Paris I think is Sauvignion Blanc from Entre des Mere but this was ions ago. Probably the tastes may have changed.

No one mentioned pinot chardonnay

I am not much of wine drinker but my wife really likes "Menage a Trois" (not what you are thinking) a blend of Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignion. You can usually get it at Costco and Sams for about $10 a bottle.

Simply red
 

....I wonder if Tesco's Bottles of "SIMPLY RED" will have a PHOTO of MICK HUCKNALL on the label........."RED" has said the rights to that name could be "MONEY IN MY POCKET" ( his pocket )......and that He would NOT be " SAD OLD RED " anymore.........Yup.... I really like his music...always have ...and always liked "RED" as a person. It would be nice to sit back with a bottle of Tesco's Simply Red and listen to a SIMPLY RED album. Watch the "STARS". Maybe even stay up until "SUNRISE"

Funny you should mention that. I just tried a Biltmore wine for the first time today at my book club. It was a pinot noir, which I usually like. I did not care for the Biltmore one though.

P.S., Skyking, welcome to TOTV!:wine:

Was just in last week and visited the Lakeridge Winery north of Clermont, was a pleasant afternoon and Doug, our tour leader was a hoot! Wine was ok, bit on the sweet side for me but loved the experience.

I am sure Pinot Noir was not great. I hear Pinot Noir grapes are so difficult to raise and Burgandy is where you find great Pinots but so expensive. I think the movie Sideways had a seen where Byron was offered but that's pricey too. If you have reasonably priced good Pinot Noir, let me know. By the way, how do you make background color for the quote?:)
