Wine Tasting: Peach Fruitscato

Wine Tasting: Peach Fruitscato

Are you a fan of fruity wines? Perhaps peaches? Well, keep reading about this delicious and fruity Barefoot Peach Fruitscato Wine. 


My older sister is actually the one who suggested this wine to me. I do like fruity wines, and this Barefoot Fruitscato chain has many flavors:

  • Peach

  • Pineapple

  • Strawberry

  • Blueberry

  • Watermelon

  • Mango 

  • And More!


I got this 2020 year bottle of wine at a Kroger grocery store for a little under $6 for a 750mL bottle. It is bottled by Barefoot Cellars in Canandaigua, New York with a 7.5% ABV. 


Store Review: Barefoot Peach Moscato is a delightfully sweet wine with natural flavors of juicy, ripe peaches. This bottle comes with an easy-to-open screw cap, so no wine opener is needed. Best served chilled!


Self Review: This wine is a sweet blend of rose wine with natural fruity flavors. What caught my attention the most was that this wine is gluten free so it blended well with daily diets. One of my favorite fruits is peaches, which is a close second behind cherry. The flavors immediately burst in your mouth - peach with a bit of sparkle. I thought the light bodied sweet wine would pair well with a peach cobbler dessert or making a fruit tart cake. 


According to page 32 in the Wine Folly textbook, sweetness is the first trait you’ll taste on the tip of your tongue. I believe that I have a hypersensitive tongue (on page 33) with more than 30+ tastebuds where I would be more inclined to drink sweet wines. An interesting fact is also that women are over 2 times more likely to be hypersensitive taster than men. 


One thing I would suggest to Barefoot wine is that they make a cherry fruitscato next!

Wine Tasting: Soupcon de Fruit April 9, 2023 By: Lucy Becker No way, Rosé! That is right! Today, we have a lovely rosé d’anjou wine for wine tasting! This 2021 Soupcon de Fruit rosé d’anjou wine originates from Le Chateau, France. I have had very few rosés in my life, all of which were very dry and tart. However, they are usually very light, fruity, and crisp. While I was shopping for wine, I noticed this bottle on display, and boy oh boy did it catch my eye. The way the light hit the body of the bottle, I knew it was coming home with me.  I bought this bottle at a local wine shop called Total Wine in Gainesville, Virginia while I was home for the holidays. It was $16.99 for a 750mL bottle of wine. Total Wine Review: A beautiful light pink, you will find this wine to be very fruity on the nose, with hints of red berries and pear. On the finish you experience a round and fresh rose with delicious lingering aromas. Self Review: This light bodied wine has a fruity taste to begin with. I

Wine and Dinner Blog April 9, 2016 By: Lucy Becker Happy Easter, for those of you who celebrate this holiday! I was so excited to travel home for the holiday weekend the other day, and fortunately for me, my family does immediate family dinners (which is myself, two sisters, mom, and dad) and extended family dinners on different days. So what a better time to do a wine and dinner blog!  One fun fact about my family is that we go all out when it comes to holiday dinners. We have several appetizers, several main dishes, several sides, and several desserts. I am excited to share with you two of my family favorite dishes that are authentically passed from generation to generation. To start off, let me introduce the wine varieties for the night.

There's a firm tightness to the
