Bring out the Bubbly

Spring's actual arrival may have been much later than the calendar's proclamation but finally, things seem to be warming up. Barefoot Bubbly Brut Cuvee is a sparkling way to toast anything special or anything else. Sip it chilled as it is or mix to make light-hearted concoctions like Mimosas.

This is a charming bubbly that you won't want (or need) to save for infrequent celebrations. Pop open a bottle and enjoy! After all, it will soon be summer, and then autumn and then winter, and then....

Sparkling, Festive and Affordable

When you think of any celebration, you might hear the sounds of  Champagne corks popping. While others may point out what are the most expensive champagnes, (a nice superlative if you just want to read about bubbly hyperboles), we would like to turn your attention to more affordable (and just as enjoyable) sparkling wines.

Barefoot Bubbly, the recipient of a myriad of awards for sparkling wine for under $20, offers five sparkling wines to suit a broad range of preferences listed below, from driest to a sweeter taste profile:

Barefoot Bubbly Brut Cuvée - your classic champagne; crisp with hints of green apple

Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry - aromas of ripe yellow apples complementing the creamy texture

Barefoot Bubbly Pinot Grigio Champagne - flavors of citrus and yellow apple

Barefoot Bubbly Rosé Cuvée - aromas of peach and strawberry

Barefoot Bubbly Moscato Spumante - sweet with flavors of mandarin orange

But the best part is that all these Barefoot Bubbly choices are affordably priced at $10 a bottle - so you can have a variety on hand for any celebration or just for the fun of it.

Remember to always serve and drink responsibly
