Barefoot Merlot – Red Wine

Source
It’s finally Saturday and I thought I’d share with you my favourite red wine. I just have to say that I don’t know much about wine and what determines if it’s good or bad, but I have come to find that I really like this one. It’s called Barefoot Merlot.

This Californian wine is perfect for any occasion and especially when eating red meat. It is a decadent fruit filled combination of red cherry, boysenberry and plum. I am not a fan of very strong wines and I am happy to announce this wine is not. It one truly has the perfect combinations of berries that give it a nice round flavour. (Source)

So if you’re looking for a nice red wine to enjoy next to your meal this Saturday, then I would absolutely recommend Barefoot. It is quite cheap and in 2007 it was voted wine brand of the year.

  2. The way I find a good wine is...it costs less than a fiver (great if it's reduced from 8.00 or more) and it dosn't make my cheeks pinch when drinking the first mouthfull haha! I usually like Australian, but I'm really not too fussed. I've never seen this one, I'll look out for it :)x

  4. Oooh I love Barefoot wines! They are very good, which is impressive because they are so cheap. Have you tried their champagnes? Those are the best! xoxo

  7. I never drink wine :-o So far I haven't found any wine that I really like, maybe because most people prefer dry wine & I only like it when it's sweet...If I were to choose, I'd take beer over wine (well, I'm German after all *lol* We drink alot of beer I guess :-D).

    Claire - Haha, looks like we go after the same stuff when looking for wine. I don't know anything about wine so I don't want to pay much, just in case I don't like it. =)

    Girls just wanna have..style - Thank you so much for your lovely comment. How cool is it that your grandad made wine, I love that! I bet you have many wonderful memories about that =)

  11. It sounds delicious, and I definitely want to give it a try! I love wine, but became even more interested when we took a road trip to Tuscany last year. We visited a family who owned a private villa and made their own wine. We tasted their newest release right from the barrel and their olive oil was equally incredible! When I'm back in the States I will definitely search for this Barefoot Merlot!

  12. I am from CA!!! And Barefoot is one of my "Go To" cheap wines!!! Great recommendation!

    Also, I know this one is from Oz, but Barefoot is also super cheap and not too bad (3.99-4.99/bottle)

    Thanks for coming over (from WYE). Great to have comments from friends and fellow bloggers!

    (Your story sounds great. I ALWAYS wanted to study in London. And I love how your blog [comment prompts etc] is all in Norwegian)

    Kyria - That is so great, it has become my go-to cheap wine too. And thank you, I love living in London, I do not regret moving here for a second. I've actually been meaning to change the comment prompts etc but I keep forgetting it, lol =)

    GretchTM - I've never tried that one, maybe I will someday =)
