July 8, 2022 - Tasted Blindfolded. Nose of honey, honeysuckles, and pineapple. Palate is almost pure sugar – pineapple jolly rancher with some floral elements. Finish is short and sugary. I really hope this is a Riesling, since there’s no reason for a white wine to be this sweet.
Blindfold off. Pale straw in color. Still not getting any better.
The Reveal: Barefoot Riesling. On the back, the terms “sweet and refreshing” is highlighted. This is too cloying sweet for my palate. I am more disturbed by the fact that there is a “Refrigerate after opening” warning on back label. It took a bit to find the abv, it was white text on the yellow label, but it’s only 8%. Maybe a few ice cubes dissolved in this wine on a hot day would help. -

July 27, 2019 - Nothing like the other bottles I have had. Tart, flabby and cloying.

June 9, 2019 - Nothing complex, green apple w a light, effervescence in the mouth. Great on a 99° day by the pool.

April 17, 2019 - Honestly, for $5 this is not bad. Sure, it is sweet but not in a sickening cloying way. Could use more acidity... did I mention $5 a bottle? Granny smith apples, peach, sweet cream in a pretty simple, straightforward way. For a serious wino, this could be a guilty pleasure.
