Moving forward, two entrepreneur named Bonnie Harvey and Michael Houlihan took the reigns and renamed the brand to Barefoot Cellars and came up with the footprint label for the brand.
Their current winemaker, Jennifer Wall, joined them 20 years ago and brought a whole new curiosity, creativity, and taste to the table.

If you have Placomusophobia (The fear of popping wine bottle corks), slowly remove the foil. In case the cork might just be ready to pop out on its own, have a piece of cloth at hand to press down the neck of cork for a smooth opening.
