BAREFOOT® PINOT GRIGIO RECOMMENDED BY WHOM YOU KNOW

Few wines are refreshing as this great-tasting Barefoot Pinot Grigio. Recognized as a Best Buy from Wine Enthusiast in 2008, the crisp, flavorful wine is perfect for the warm days of summer or enjoyed year-round.   We are slowly winding into summer in Manhattan, and Barefoot puts us in the mood!  The clean, crisp taste of the Pinot Grigio evokes warm summer memories on a rainy Sunday night in Manhattan.  This is the perfect wine to sip on during The Apprentice tonight!  Paired with some nice cheese and crackers, you are all set until someone gets fired!  We also had it earlier with our seafood dinner and it was just perfect.  Whom You Know recommends the Barefoot Pinot Grigio!
