The lounge wine selection that's been pictured looks balanced enough that it could last.
- The Prisoner (polarizing but people love it - typically $35-$40 a bottle)
- Noble 181 cabernet (cheap $15 stuff - they save on this for people who don't think about wine)
- Daou cabernet (about $25 a bottle - very good for a free lounge wine)
Basically a notch up from the free stuff at the Amex lounges.
As for the onboard wine looking for reports, but saw pic from a press event that showed something more on par with Delta (a $20+ bottle mixed in with the usual $15 stuff)
Taft Street Chardonnay (about $20)
Sebastian Riffault Sancerre (about $20)
Mastroberardino Mastro Greco (about $15)
Banshee Cabernet (about $35 - surprising if avail in biz)
Dobbes Wines by Joe Pinot (about $15)
Hahn GSM (about $15)
There will be 6 wines boarded - 2 of each type that are 'favorites' and 1 that is 'emerging'
