LHR T5 GF last week. A pretty sad bunch of whites.
Graves
Soave Classico
ZA chardonnay that retails for c£7
The Soave was the pick of the bunch. I'm really not keen on the Henriot champagne. And for the first time ever the chicken curry off the menu was really unpleasant. All rather disappointing.
I then flew to Doha where I am sorry to report that the whites in the Al Mourjan business lounge were - Billecart-Salmon Brut excepted - even worse. I drank red Margaux. Well, I say 'drank', but the first two glasses from two different bottles were corked. I gave up and had a gin and tonic. It was Beefeater. So the grass isn't always greener.
Perhaps I should just give up drinking?
