Welcome to Jupiter, Florida the year 1952 when the American Carnival comes to town with its freaky performers that are trying to survive the loss of the dying art of the American Carny experience. The season will be centered around one of the remaining freak shows of the period and the performers will do anything to keep the business thriving.

Cannabis Edibles Savory or Sweet?

by mitzimsa on October 6, 2014

Cannabis, Marijuana, Pot, Weed or Mary Jane it’s all the same!
Cannabis -periodic-tabnle-306x220

Gourmet edibles are a big business and everyone has become crazy for cup cakes, doughnuts, popcorn and gourmet flavored ice cream.

Food trucks festives, fairs and gatherings deliver the best of the best in each category. Truck food chasing has become date nights for couples and friends. The craze to follow food trucks on social media while stalking the truck has become quite common and sometimes looked upon as an addiction.

With the explosion of the marijuana legalization in several U.S. states and more states facing filing of paticition to legalize, the demand for more options of consumption other then smokeing is on the rise.

People have long claimed the pain releveing effects of marijuana.  Doctors have been skpecile in the past but are jumping on the band wagon by distribution of license. The license allows one to get stoned to cope, mask or dull pain. There seems to be a strain for just about every elment one may have. The clinics will advise as to what keeps you peppy while stimulating hunger, can put you to sleep at night or what kind you should choose to give the affect your in search of without the munchies…who new!

As I recall early this year here in Los Angeles a marijuana farmers market by the name of California Heritage Market was held. Cannabis and it’s edible counterparts were on display for direct sale from the grower and or maker of the products.  People lined up for blocks and blocks with cash in hand and more than a 4 hour wait to get their hands on their product of choice.  Quite as it’s kept there’s even a sexual enhancement product for women.   This product is going to require some additional research so we’ll cover this at a later date.

You know, you want to know or be in the know… so check out this video!  Loll!!

All At Your Local Cannabis Dispensaries

The last I knew when you picked up a prescription you went to a pharmacy or drug store. The only way that I knew you could consume cannabis (marijuana) was to  smoke, drink as a tea or eat in the form of a brownie. Today picking up your prescription can be in the form of a cookie, rice treat, lollipop, soda, taffy and now pizza sauce!  The LA based Podey Pizza has started selling jars of pot-infused pizza sauce at marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington State and Colorado.

Pizza Has Gone To Pot

Cannabis-o-PODEY-PIZZA-SAUCE-570

Yes I said pizza sauce, from my understanding this is the newest way to consume cannabis on the market.   Each 5-ounce jar of Podey Pizza sauce sells for $20 and contains 300mg of medical cannabis per jar, enough for one large pizza or two smaller ones, according to Steve Thomas, Podey Pizza’s vice president of operations.

Natural High Pie

If your not into making your own pizza do not fret  Stoned Oven Gourmet Mandibles, also based in Los Angeles, just started selling six-inch pot pizzas for $10 each. Each pizza contains 250 mg of ethanol-extracted tetrahydrocannabinol, otherwise known as THC concentrate, best of all: The company will deliver its cannabis pizzas for now… to the doors of a limited number of neighborhoods!  This is going to cause some serious post code envy!!!

Any who, click below on  leave your comment!  Let us know what you think about legalization, all the new options of consumption or your review of anything you’ve tried!!!

 

Stanley Cup Viewing On The Lot!

by mitzimsa on September 19, 2014

CHAMPIONS OF THE STANLEY CUP

Stanley Cup Protector Bailey and IFox Presents The Viewing of the Stanley Cup and it’s protector, the Los Angeles Kings Mascot Bailey!  For starters I have to say this was a popular event here on the lot.  I  walked over to the event with hopes of a view and a possible  chance for a snap shot with the cup.  I saw people walking as if they were out to win the title of Champion Race Walker 2014!  At that point I knew this was some serious business.  Once I arrived to the landing of Bldg. 103 all I could see was Black, Grey and White LA Kings Hockey Shirts, there were T’s, jerseys, banners and pucks the assortment of memorabilia was endless.  A BBQ, music and even a cake replica of the Stanley Cup. Why people had even pulled their children out of child care for the opportunity to take a picture with Bailey and the Cup. I watched people transform into fans while standing in line, most of the children were not quite as frantic with excitment as their parents. They seemed upset with the fact that they had been  forced to make wardrobe changes while the sun beat down on their faces and the long line. Often while strolling through the crowd I would hear a parent repeat “You want to see Bailey! Right? With a silly smile on their face. I felt like the kids, “if I can see him now, I don’t want to wait” this was said with a whine in their voice and with a frown on face.

So, I weaved my way through the crowd caught a few shots of Bailey, The Stanly Cup, Crowds, Line Action and Selfies, I knew there was no way I could continue to stand out in this 100 degree heat.  It was so hot I thought the devil was on my tail and I found myself at times wishing somebody would throw cold water on me so I could melt like the wicked witch of the west!!!

YOU SEXY THING!

Stanly Cup 2 (3)Any who, I can say the  Stanley Cup is one sexy trophy it stands tall and proud and shines like new money!  I could tell that it made everyone that got close feel the same way because their faces would light up bright as the sun!

Thanks, Kings Organization for allowing the residents of LA the opportunity to join in on the celebration of  pride, Los Angeles Home of the Champions and The Stanley Cup!!

FOOD TRUCK MANIA AT FOX!

by mitzimsa on September 14, 2014

 FOOD ON WHEELS

food truck 13

FOOD TRUCK FRIDAYS!!  I know you’ve heard the saying “Get in where you fit in” well that’s exactly what has happened over here on the 20TH Century Fox Lot & Plaza! Fox has decided to jump on the bandwagon of FOOD TRUCK MANIA!!!

On Fridays we have a food truck invasion the trucks take over prime real estate on the lot adjacent to the dining lawn which also provides an opportunity for people watching while you chat with friends. After all what’s a good food truck festival without people watching?

GET SOCIAL WITH STREET FOOD

I no longer have to turn to social media to locate a Friday afternoon Food Truck FESTIVAL, Fox brought those food trucks right outside my home away from home (work). On Fridays around 11:30 when the trucks open their windows for business people come from every direction as if some major player of the next block buster movie or tv show just walked on to the lot.  We really don’t get as excited as people on the outside of the gates of make believe. To be truthful it’s pretty much normal for us to see major players on a regular if you recognize them in person.

THERES GOT TO BE A FOOD TRUCK FOR YOU!

There’s no limits to the type of food that you can find on food trucks Sushi, Kobe Beef, Organic, Vegan, Waffles, Ice Cream, Cupcakes just about anything you can think of… theres a truck for that! Most Fridays we’re in for a well mixed variety and hoping that it’s not something we can’t get at one of our regular eating establishment on the lot. On occasion for special events we have the big corporate boys swing by like In & Out Burger, Baja Fresh and Sprinkles.  Food trucks are here to stay, if you haven’t tried a food truck lately you should take the plunge, they’ve really stepped up their game it’s not the roach coach any more!

EAT LOCALLY GROWN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

by mitzimsa on September 3, 2014

 Eating  Fruits and Vegetables Of The Season 

Fresh Fruits and Vegetables SignI’m big on cooking and eating fresh locally grown fruits and vegetables. I so enjoyed the summer fruits and vegetables that taste as sweet and juicy as they looked and smelled! Now that we’re bidding the summer Fruits and Vegetables Farmers Market Signgoodbye; it’s so sad to see it go.  But, as you know all good things come to an end. Fall is on the way and it brings  out a wonderful bounty of winter fruits and vegetables,  kids are back in school and the Prime Time TV new programming schedule starts.  There nothing like sitting in front of the TV with a big bowl something warm and comforting made with fresh ingredients.

September yields the end of some summer staples like berries and tomatoes while other are just starting to become ripe for the picking but don’t forget there are still plenty of goodies that are in their prime season!

I prefer farmers markets over the supermarket you’ll save money, your produce will be fresh as well as being grown locally.   They also allow you to eat seasonally without ever knowing that’s what your doing.  I didn’t know there was a name for people that eat what’s in season! If you’re like me joined the club of Eating Seasonally!!

 FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ARE ALWAYS IN SEASON

You see at the farmers market the produce is being brought in from the farm as it’s picked which keeps the cost down. Since the edibles didn’t take a costly trip to get to you, less fuel is used so it also reduces the carbon footprint and keeps your money in your city, state and community! It also brings me joy knowing that I’m helping the environment, my local economy as well as putting money in the pockets of our farmers.

EATING SEASONALLY IS SEXY!

NO BOATS, PLAINS OR TRAINS FOR MY FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

Buy Fruit and Vegetables Local SignSure, eating seasonally doesn’t allow you to eat what you want when you would like so, you’ll have to wait for your favorites to come back around season to season. But, it does give you a reason to add some new dishes to your repertoire.  If you just can’t phantom being without a certain fruit or veggie over the winter, I would suggest canning or checking with the farmers at the market; many offer preserved selections as well.

Tall Ship’s Festival LA 2014 & One Big Rubber Duck!!!

by mitzimsa on August 22, 2014

World’s Largest Rubber Duck Comes To LA!

Rubber DuckThe waters of the world are her bath tub…Florentijn Hofman’s Rubber Duck will grace the Port of Los Angeles for its west coast debut at the Tall Ship’s Festival LA, Aug 20-24! I want to point out that the 6 story Rubber Duck is non gender, since I’m such a girly girl anything this cute has to be a she in my mind. As if a Big Rubber Duck isn’t cute enough a baby chick has been franticly roaming around LA like a ship without water looking for her parent. My guess is a strong current pushed her into the LA Harbor back in July before her mama’s arrival. The little chick has been sighted roaming the streets and waterways of Los Angeles. She’s was spotted Downtown LA, Los Angeles Zoo, the Botanical Gardens and once she got close to the waters of Venice Beach. She made friends with Bailey LA Kings Mascot, Mayor Tom Tait of Anaheim and even checked in with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti in hope of a few pointers of where she could possibly find her momma. With every encounter she was spreading the word to Angelinos near and far that her momma was on her way to escort 12 tall ships into the Los Angeles Harbor at the Tall Ship’s Festival!

Making A Splash!!

August 20th 7:45 am The day has arrived and I was there…I was more than excited when I spotted the World’s Largest Rubber Duck moving slowly towards me from under the Vincent Thomas Bridge on her way to the Downtown Harbor! I instantly felt myself go into a child like state of mind. I could not wait for her to get close enough for my selfie I won’t say how many attempts I made while I waited for my close up, just see for yourself below please don’t judge!!

 

After the morning excitement of her arrival, I chatted with some of the other admirers and took liberty of taking additional pictures of that big duck docked at the Downtown Harbor Outlook. While waiting for the afternoon parade I took in some other sights of San Pedro and found a nice little mom pop diner to have breakfast.

With a few hours to kill and feeling a bit tired from the anticipation of the arrival of the World’s Largest Duck I decided to take a nap right outside of the dock where she was parked. It was nice to see people pull up and run out of their cars to take photos and selfies with the Rubber Duckie! While taking my siesta I could hear people shrieking, ooing, aahing and laughing as they encountered the Big Yellow Duck!   Once I came out of my slumber I looked to my right and Rubber Duckie was gone, while sleeping her time had come to go take her position at the front of the line for the parade!

All Aboard Battleship Iowa

Off to the top of the bow of the USS Iowa to watch the massive duck escort the tall ships into the harbor. All of a sudden in the clear of the breakfront I could see her head, before long she rounded the corner in all her glory surrounded by the tall ships the announcer aboard the USS Iowa called the ships by name one by one as they passed before me.

The day was a special day for me having an encounter with the world’s largest duck just tickled me pink! Watching the beautiful tall ship’s coming into the harbor and going on my hometown name sake battle ship, made me proud to call myself an Iowan as always. But, of all honors that could be bestowed up on me on a day that I was feeling so very special…I was labled a Duck Groupie!!!

Kiss of the Rubber DuckCome one come all this Rubber Duck will be serving up smiles all weekend long! This a chance in a life time experience so sail on down to the Port of Los Angeles for the Tall Ship’s Festival LA 2014 where you can get up close and personal with a childhood friend , go aboard the USS Battleship Iowa and enjoy the food of 50+ food trucks during the festival.

Festival Hours: Saturday, Aug. 23-Sunday, Aug. 24, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.   Tickets and pre-paid parking: www.tallshipsfestivalla.com/ or call 877-4FLY-TIX.

 

Travel The California Gold Coast To Wine Country

by mitzimsa on August 18, 2014

 #CaliBloggerRoadTrip

California Gold Coast

I had the pleasure of rolling out on route 101N to take in the California Gold Coast while on a special adventure to California Wine Country with Kitty Bradshaw and a couple other Sisters in Blog.  The first quarter of the road trip is a straight blur.  See I had been up 24 hours preparing for the trip, getting home set-up for my departure and absence of 3.75 days!

Any who, as soon as I pulled into the first stop I announced “someone better take the wheel.”  I slide to the back seat and nestled in for the ride.  The first time I came too there was talk of getting gas and “if you have to go, get moving!”  Did what I had to do and tucked myself back under the blanky and off to slumber land I went! Seems as if not long after the ride started the car began to make frequent stops as if we are in a city.  Pulling myself up and peeking above the cover, I was informed that we were stopping for a bite.

CAMBRIA CALIFORNIA

Linn’s Bin, is where we choose to dine.  I soon learned upon taking a seat at the table that I was in the Home of the Olallieberry.  Now, I’m not sure if your familiar with this berry but, I was not so I had to dig further…it’s 2/3 Blackberry and 1/3 Red Raspberrry and is the primary fruit grown at he Linn’s Family Farm.  Of course the first thing that pops in my mind is the Olallieberry is to  Linn’s as Shrimp is to Bubba Gumps; EVERYTHING!  Glancing over the menu I could not decide what to try, it all sounds so good and the waiter informed us we would not go wrong with whatever choice was made.  Since one of my roadies was on the same page UNDECIDED we decided to do a split.  Ok, choice #1 The Inside/Outside (Inside: green onion, mushrooms, bacon; Outside: housemade salsa, avocado, mozzarella and an egg).  Choice #2 Linn’s Bin (Stack: Hashed brown potato cake, diced ham or spinach, mushrooms; two eggs, onion, bell pepper, cheddar cheese, avocado). Both selections came with  homestyle muffin or scone.  Now you know this was not just any ol’ kind of muffin, there was quite a variety  all with a touch of the Olallieberry.  And the scone served with you guessed it Olallieberry fruit compote (by the way you can get either one in a Glutin Free option). Decisions decisions Olallieberry what should I drink?  You can go hot or cold there’s many choices on how you can consume this berry, I decided on Olallieberry Lemonade!

California Road TripWhile dining we received fun sunglasses from one of the roadies, red sparkle lips or pink with false lashes for the choosing! If you know me you know which ones I picked by the description!!  Four crazy girls from LA with different lives coming together for a good time! Here we are in this small town which reminds me of Mayberry R.F.D, snapping photos of our food choice before taking a bite, rearranging chairs to take selfies in our new sunnies, holding full conversations with our heads buried in our phones and laughing loudly with no regard of the regulars starring. In summation of  my visit to Linn’s I will agree with the waiter you can’t go wrong with whatever choice you make off their menu.  Each and every one of us enjoyed the food and the atmosphere of Linn’s,  it’s a must if you’re in the area of Cambria!  Wait, I forgot if you run across an L in a black box by an item on the menu it’s a Linn’s Specialty Food and is available at one of the following locations: LINN’S GOURMET GOODS, LINN’S ORIGINAL FARMSTORE, AND LINNSFRUITBIN.COM.

Soon, I was back to my assumed position in the back seat of the car feeling fat and full. I did not  lift my head again until we arrived at our first destination!!

 

SITES OF SAN JOSE CALIFORNIA

Yes, I’ve waited for the experience all year long BlogHer14…I made it!  Drop the roadies at their hotel and Kitty and I zipped off to get settled in ours.  This was the beginning of the first of many quick changes, we had an event in less than 30 minutes.  All I could think of was the invites I was about to fulfill. I was lucky enough to be confirmed for so many events and parties.

I’m not going into a lot of detail on the BlogHer14, that’s a story within itself but if you click on the link you can read about my preparation for the amazing experience. We parked the car at the hotel and made it around San Jose by foot.  After all, all of our activity for the next 2 days would be in walking distance of the Convention Center where BlogHer14 was held!

Oh yah! I didn’t mention at the beginning that GM rolled out the red carpet and Chevy Impalasupplied a Candy Apple Red 2014 Impala fully loaded for the comfort and pleasure of the #CaliBloggerRoadTrip.  I have to say this baby has a glad and stride that is deserving of the road!   

On the road again and this time I’m Sonoma County, California… Wine Country bound!!  Since I was out of rotation on the first quarter.  There was no need for me to believe that someone else would buckle up in the driver’s seat.  Got myself adjusted,  XM tuned into Heart & Soul and ready to roll but, get this… one of my roadies thought she should pick the music so she wouldn’t fall asleep! LMAO at that one!!!!  101N here we come!

Ran into some traffic along the way, right outside the city of San Francisco we started to encounter detours.  Detours around what, I ask myself; at the time we were unaware but found it strange.  Turns out going through San Francisco was not strange for our destination but the detours and grid lock was.  Due to the marathon it added an additional hour to my encounter with the thirty-five million dollar steel harp better known as the Golden Gate Bridge!!  This had us in a bit of a panic since we were meeting the wonderful Barefoot Winemaker Jennifer Wall for brunch to discuss and taste the latest release from Barefoot Wine.  My roadies had no idea but I was more in a panic about driving over the bridge “I HEAT DRIVING ON BRIDGES” I was in a full blown panic attach at first sight of her (a bridge this pretty has to be referred to as her) but, it all changed when I reach the entrance. I pulled up my big girl panties and stayed cool! Yay Me!!!!

WINE & DINE BAREFOOT STYLE IN SONOMA COUNTY CALIFORNIA!!

We pulled into Healdsburg, and let Sassette (name given to the Impala) direct me to the BarnDiva,” one right and a left” said Sassette; I whipped into the first VIP parking space right at the front door!  Stepping out of the car it was quite warm not just temperature wise, you could feel the warmth of this town.  Kitty was quite impressed with the view of the barn since she had never encountered a meeting with one before. Jennifer walked out to escort us in to be seated. Introductions were held and we settled in for an amazing afternoon delight!!  Read more on the release of Barefoot Bubbly Peach Fusion and  my tasting with Winemaker Jennifer Wall by clicking Barefoot Wine.

Healdsburg

Now back to Healdsburg, California the town of wine, food and fun; don’t that sound like the makings of a wonderful time?!!  The charm of this town draws you in as you walk the square.  Healdsburg personality speaks volume, as I strolled through the gift shops, book store, wine shops, and chocolatiers and of course the General Store I open my wallet frequently.  I passed on some of the treats that I was so deserving of due to not one more ounce of room in Sassette, we had filled her to the brim of capacity. I knew whatever I decided to buy must fit either on my person or in my purse. But, a return trip with room for antique & art shopping, stock pile of wines and cheese and the feeling of just good living will be in store real soon.  I’m hoping to get back for the Wine Festival and stay over in one of those cute bed and breakfast spots so I can experience the true essence of the treasure of Sonoma County & California Wine Country, Healdsburg!

Over-Ear Headphones – Veoldyne vQuite Are For Me!

by mitzimsa on August 7, 2014

Velodyne Headphones Sound!!

Headphones Music OnlyI can say that music is my life, I’m surrounded by it on a daily basis. Being employed by a major movie and television studio in the music department I hear and listen to music of one genre or another all day long. Considering I come from the era of the Motown Sound as well as being big on Funk and Jazz, I want to hear every string of the guitar, beat of the drums, thump of the base and let’s not forget the bad ass brass sound of the horns! That’s why I’m in love with the Velodyne vQuite Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones. I get exactly what I need from these headphones I have so many good things to say about this pair of cans but, I’ll start with the look.

I like the fact that they’re a basic matte black, anyone that known’s me knows I’m into fashion but when it comes to headphones I don’t need flash, bold color or hype that other brands use to make a fuss on the fashion bandwagon. Besides black coordinates with everything no matter the trend of the moment! Velodyne worked in their signature V quietly on both sides of the headphone while putting more effort into the features that matter such as their clear, crisp, clean sound.

Headphones v Fashion

Comfort, the cushion that surrounds your ear and cushions the top of your head is so soft it allows the headphones to fit snug to your head like a glove, while not putting a lot of pressure on the head, more importantly to me; my hair style of the day! I’m sure you would agree that comfort is major when talking headphones. Why I’ve found that I can wear any type of earring without any distraction from the fit…just saying “please don’t make me think about wardrobe choice when it comes to listening to music” Velodyne get’s an A++ for not making me choose!

The headphone cable is the first I’ve ran across that’s made of a fabric type material with inline controls which you can plug into either side of the headphones for your convenience and comfort and feels good to the touch; I’m such a girl! When in a noisy place with a tap of my finger I can activate the noise reduction button and cancel out the surrounding sound, I find this feature to be as good as other headphones with this function. But, what’s cool about this pair of headphones; you don’t always want complete noise reduction. I can still fake like I can’t hear you while hearing everyword! Loll!!

In the box you’ll also find a USB charging cable and handy carrying pouch. Which brings me to the breakdown of this headphone when it comes to storing, these babies fold down to half their size, slip into the pouch and fit right into my handbag or tote which is great for travel and transporting around town while hanging out or running errands.

Headphones & MusicIn my book for under $300.00 Veoldyne Headphones are a great investment and statement piece… remember this is coming from a girl that is into fashion, trends and getting the most bang for her buck!

GIVEAWAY!!
Headphone up for grabs Yes, (2) pairs of Velodyne vLeve Headphones are ready and waiting for you! Sign up for your chance to garb a pair!

 

Chuck E Cheese Washed Away The Play Date Blues!

by mitzimsa on August 4, 2014

Need A Chuck E Cheese Play Date

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get Out & Play!

I jumped on the road and headed north of Los Angeles to San Jose for BlogHer14! After my arrival the grandkids called and said I was too far away from home. I tried to put those little minds at ease, by explaining that I was out running, jumping, screaming and having some fun with my friends like they do when the go out to play! I was sure that my answer would be accepted since I had delivered the news with childlike wonder in my voice!! Well, that was a #fail, in unison the reply was “We like to have fun so we should be with you” Great, now my heart is laying on the floor and I’m feeling guilty…I officially have the Play Date Blues.

Since this was my first BlogHer experience, I wanted to take it all in, after all I shelled out a pretty penny to get here.  I needed to make sure that I made the expense worthwhile. With eyes wide open I walked through the doors of the Expo Hall. To no surprise what I found was very similar as to what I had described to my grandkids earlier in the day…the hall was all a buzz, laughing, tears of joy, and screams you could feel the excitement! There were all types of brands being represented it appeared there was something for everyone.

As I weaved my way through the sea of ladies with their cards in hand, I noticed they were making a bee line toward on particular booth I couldn’t quite tell the brand. But, as I turned the corner it was clear to see that my Play Date Blues would soon come to a halt, once I made it to the front of the line to chat with the Chuck E Cheese Crew Member! As I waited patiently I noticed there were games stacked high and a spinning wheel was available to give your luck a try. To the right of the wheel Mr. Operation stood in all his glory and gander with lights in full bloom!  While waiting my turn I sized up the wheel hoping to land on Monopoly and receive one of the green little totes that held the famous gold coins (tokens).

 My Big Spin On The Chuck E Cheese Wheel

Finally it was my turn, I took one step back and put all I had into my spin! Yes! I did it, it stopped on my game of choice!! I reached for my game and I thought I would be on my way, that is until one of the Chuck E Cheese Crew member started to inquire if I had children. I laughed and replied “no little ones for me but, I’m a proud grandmother of eight!” The crew member introduced herself and handed me a Guest Pass along with her business card. In return I handed her my card and took one last glance at hers…the heading read “We Want To Partner With You!!!

 

 

Barefoot Wine Brunch & Tasting – Newest Release Peach Fusion

by mitzimsa on August 3, 2014

California Wine Country Home to Barefoot Wine

Barefoot Wine Grapes

After an action packed weekend in San Jose, I took a trip due north by way of San Francisco into California Wine Country.  Impromptu? No, I had the pleasure of dining with Winemaker Jennifer Wall of Barefoot Wine. The tasting of Prosecco, and the Fusion Wines; Tropical, Citrus and Berry brought me full circle in the evolution of the brand.  I recall in the early 90’s everyone commented that it was a great wine with a great price point, this still rings true today.  No matter which type of wine tickles your fancy they’re all affordable, pricing from $6 to $12 per bottle.

I’m not sure what to call this meeting but I know it’s not a reintroduction because I’ve never strayed since my first sip.  Barefoot Wine has been in attendance at many functions of my circle of friends.

Clean, Fresh & Affordable

Barefoot Wine Collection has 16 stills, 11 sparkling and 5 refresh.  Just this week the newest member to the family was released for the pleasure of your palate PEACH FUSION, it’s an infused bubbly made like champagne. My togue danced with joy as the tiny peach bubbles burst in my mouth. So fresh, crisp and lively with the taste of its component the fresh Georgia Peach! For me, Tropical Fusion is next in line on my like meter. I can’t seem to get- a-way much these days so Tropical Fusion assist in transforming my mind to paradise! Loll, funny thing Tropical Fusion also has a bit of the Georgia Peach!

Big Breaking News To Me!!!

Barefoot Touches The Soul of the Country

Definitely Barefoot Wine is the wine of the people for the people. Why their Community Ambassadors, the Bearfooters, are leaving the Bearfoot footprint of charity; through local love by partnering with organizations to help them raise money all over the country!

Do your soul, family and friends a favor by inviting the Barefoot Wine Collection to your table and/or your next function it’s a wine to celebrate every day life occasions. I’m sure it will make you twinkle your toes and have everyone feeling like barefootin!!
