Tried these two new wines last night for DinDin:
1. Six Eight Nine Calif WW (13.0%; Chard/SauvBlanc) Six Eight Nine Cllrs/Napa 2021: Light yellow color; pleasantly fragrant/fruity quite simple bit bland nose; lightly tart/tangy/metallic light-bodied pleasantly fruity quite simple rather dull/bland flavor; med. lightweight finish that tracks flavor; not a bad nor flawed wine but just incerdibly boring; very disappointing. $17.00 (SFW&S)

More skeezlebort from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. 6 8 9 is an operation/wnry of Curtis McBride & Kent Rasmussen. They have also taken the Ramsay label (Kent's value wine, named after his wife) under their wing. This is a new label that I thought I'd give it a shot.
Being Kent was involved, I was expecting a whole lot more from this wine. But so boring & pretty disappointing.

What's with the name? Six Eight Nine--is it an address?

689 is not an address, Jenise. Those numbers are apparently lucky numbers in Chinese folklore, according to their WebSite.

Yes, the Chinese are very conscious about numbers and luck.

"In Chinese culture, numbers are considered lucky or unlucky based on their pronunciation, with the most popular lucky numbers being 8 (sounds like "to get rich"), 9 (sounds like "long-lasting"), and 6 (sounds like "smooth" or "flow"), while 4 is particularly unlucky because it sounds like "death". Other lucky numbers include 2 (for good things coming in pairs) and 3 (for the stages of life), and numbers are carefully chosen for important events like weddings or property purchases."

Thanks for edumacating us, Bill. The stuff you learn on WineLovers boggles the mind...some of it even true!!
