And today I just got my annual case of Foxtrot Pinot Noir from Naramata which is an amazing value for the quality. But I don't expect AC to serve this anymore than I would expect them to start serving fresh truffles. That ain't the point.

There are plenty of wines in the mid price range that AC could or maybe even should serve. Heck, how about a limited-time Canadian wine festival on board? Something to make the tired food and beverage a little more interesting. But No, they seem content on serving the crappola they do, which is maybe where [MENTION=420889]alpinecow[/MENTION] gets their opinion about Canadian wines. It would explain much.

It can't be much fun being Veronique Rivest and actually having your name and likeness on that wine list. But while she may have no budget, at least she gets to practice her creative writing skills.
