Then I had a good Tuscan red and it was an epiphany. I still don't know jack about wine but I can't see myself buying BN again. Still, the parties sound fun.

They've even cleaned up some of the flaws that used to add to the festivities ... the yeasty incomplete fermentation was always a favorite of mine ... buy 6 bottles, throw it in the frig and drink it through Thanksgiving and then stop!

I have yet to drink a BN that wowed me. The ones I've had have all been too fruity and too acidic. "Thin" is a great description. Add weedy, whiny, needy. It's the yapping, trembling, sequin-sweater wearing poodle of French wines. Totally agree about this. I have yet to drink a BN that wowed me.
