Just finished a $3.99 US bottle of MP Shiraz. It was a regift from someone. There loss. I need more. Where can I find it? The search is on and this wine ROCKS for the price. Ripper!

It is still unopened in year two as I just celebrated my birthday...I was wondering how long I could keep this bottle...since I prefer whites and blushes over red and I am fearful I might not be able to get my nose past it...so my bottle sits unopened for the 2nd year...The bottle is so beautiful I just can't bring myself to open it, because unlike my friends I cannot polish off a bottle of wine at a time...alone!

Have you tried it since? The Zin is my favorite of the Barefoot wines with the newer Pinot Noir coming in a close second. I'm going to remember this the next time I have some. I wonder if it will affect my experience. I never thought of it as sweet. Very interesting to get other's opinions. Cheers! *** Hi Rachele, Thanks for your feedback! No, I have not tried the Barefoot Zin since then. I could have just had an off bottle, who knows! Maybe I'll give it another shot. Also, just to clarify, it was not "sweet" like a moscato or some reislings or many other wines are "sweet." Rather, it had a more unpleasant sweetness to it, akin to acetic acid. AWS Really?

Did you try it? I liked it but it wasn't in stock at my grocery, so I got the Cab instead and was dissapointed. I'll have to try the Shiraz, though I'm not much of a Shiraz drinker in the first place. I've been lookign for a budget table wine. I'm not a wine snob, but I don't like a lot of particularly cheap wines. I can't bring myself to spend more than $16 for a bottle, but I also have trouble finding anything I like for less than $8. Little Penguin Pinot Noir was the first. I'll have to read more of your reviews and try them! <strong>**** Hi Sky, I have not tried the Pinot yet, but now you have inspired me to do so! I actually really like the Cabernet Sauvignon a lot, but then again, I tend to be partial toward them. I like the heavier, layered flavor.
