Winery Review: The wine presented a mostly clear and clean appearance with mild color typical of a Moscato.  Though not a sparkling wine, it was a little bit bubbly in the glass. A clean crisp aroma of light pear was immediately noticed and was pleasant.  On the palate, the Barefoot Moscato was sweet and crisp.  The sweetness did not overpower the enjoyable tastes of lemon and orange citrus, as promised from the bottle. The mouthfeel had a texture of satiny smoothness with a finish that landed mostly in the cheeks and somewhat less on the tongue.  The finish was short and delicate. 
My Review: This is one of my favorite wines because it is so cheap and it has a little sparkle to it. It is really sweet and light, which pairs very well with some light snacks such as cheese and crackers. I had this wine with some sun dried tomato and basil cheese. You can tell by the nose on this wine that it is very sweet and smells like vanilla icing. It tastes like a combination of orange and lemon, with some sweet grapes added to it. Like the winery review suggested, there is a slight bubble in the wine even though it is not a sparkling wine. It adds some personality to the wine. I really like this wine and it has been one of my favorites for a while.
