2021 Richard Bruno Clarksburg Chenin Blanc

Despite appearances, I'm really not going back to my old wine-a-week lifestyle (more like seltzer and haribo lifestyle for the foreseeable)! But since the weather became nice, I did a bit of the ol' in-for-a-penny-in-for-a-pound-fallacy(?) and cracked another of my many wines-in-wait. This is one of those bizarre wine club exclusives that I didn't get as part of the wine club, but it tastes pretty good. Of course, in some ways, the experience is more valuable than the taste (drugs: taste 10/10, cost 1/10) but abstracting away from that, it's still a pleasant dry fruity white. Not fizzy, but thin and sweet, acidic, a little tart, I guess melon-y. Pretty consistent across time and temperature. I used to think that if I had a short-term terminal illness, I'd risk a bunch of restaurant chinese food and desserts, but now I think I'd just drink all the time instead. Lol. Anyway, very healthy review we have going here. To you, I recommend this wine, but also moderation! 

Overall
Cost: 5/10

2021 Richard Bruno Clarksburg Pinot Noir

This is another "nakedwines" exclusive. Not so exclusive, I guess, since I got it too! But I actually find that reassuring, because it's transparent and therefore if they put in a secret nut, they'd probably indicate that somehow. Anyway, it was a pretty sweet flavor for a pinot noir, and also almost fizzy or otherwise tingle-inducing. But I have no fear! There's a little tangy cranberry vibe too. The thickness is just right. I like it but somehow I don't love it. Maybe it's because I can't make duck breasts since my store doesn't sell 'em, so there's no food to pair. Maybe it's because it tastes like summer nights drinking with friends, which I don't have anymore (both NPs). Ah well. We still have spring nights posting in blog!

Overall
Cost: 5/10 [17$]
Taste: 6/10
