BAREFOOT BUBBLY® MOSCATO SPUMANTE: Whom You Know is Pleased to Kick Off Our Coverage of Barefoot!

It's Monday night in Manhattan, and it is time to celebrate spring! We think it is best celebrated with this Spumante that actually has peach-flavored notes, and of course anything peachy that can be enjoyed by Peachy gets extra points with Whom You Know! Black tie optional, Barefoot required! Barefoot Bubbly Moscato Spumante is a deliciously sweet sparkling wine perfect for your next special occasion or just a night in celebrating the every day! It is fresh, fun, upbeat and bubbly! It is on the sweeter side of things and the effervescence lends itself to a Friday feeling you need early in the week. We prefer this with appetizers and it goes perfectly with crabcakes or shrimp cocktail. Also lovely for your Dancing With the Stars soiree....

Tasting Notes: Barefoot Moscato Spumante has fragrant fruit aromas and slightly sweet flavors that complement the crisp acidity. Apricot and peach enhance the lingering tangerine finish.
Food Pairing: Barefoot Moscato Spumante is great as an aperitif, served with appetizers, salads with sweet dressings, spicy cuisine and with desserts!

Perfect to start going barefoot as the weather heats up, we believe this is true in more ways than one. We love history, and here is the history of Barefoot from them:

We got our start as a "garage wine" back in the Sixties but really stepped up what Barefoot was about in 1986 when Michael Houlihan and partner Bonnie Harvey decided to relaunch the brand. The two of them, along with the first Barefooter, Randy Arnold, believed in making and selling wine that was both delicious and affordable and that could be enjoyed by everyone from first-time wine-consumers to hard-core aficionados.

We believe that we can both promote our brand and satisfy our desire to make the world a better place by partnering with various non-profits and pouring at various fund-raising events. Over the years, Barefoot has been a part of thousands of non-profit events and our popularity has grown along with our support of these ground-breaking organizations.

We took another big step in 2006 by becoming a sponsor of the Association of Volleyball Professions (AVP) Beach Volleyball supporting a grassroots sport that originated in our state-California. We’ve also teamed up with the grass roots non-profit, the Surfrider Foundation, to create the Barefoot Beach Rescue Project, designed to clean up beaches and ensure they are "Barefoot friendly." These two initiatives help us spread a sense of fun in the sun while furthering the Barefoot philosophy of giving back.

Over the years, our wines have garnered numerous accolades and professional awards, but more importantly to us, we have a growing circle of loyal fans who love to enjoy our wine and who have joined us in the spirit of giving back to our communities and to our world. For us, and we hope for all of you, that’s an achievement well worth toasting with a glass of Barefoot wine.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
