Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey founded Barefoot Cellars in their laundry room in 1986. Starting with no money and no knowledge of the business, they developed strategic alliances, innovative marketing and an entrepreneurial culture to overcome formidable obstacles in the highly competitive and controlled wine industry. In 2005, they sold Barefoot Wine. Barefoot is now the #1 wine brand in the world.
