Pre-departure beverage limited to orange juice, water or sparkling wine.
FEBO followed.

I received an email maybe three days before departure, allowing me to pre-order my entree. I ordered the salmon, which was excellent. The salad in the first-course was pathetic. There were more croutons than leafs of lettuce.

Fall 2018 menu for LHR, Edinburgh (EDI) and Dublin (DUB) to US as of November 2018, according to fine print.

As usual, typos are Delta's. They need a new copy-editor.

WINE FALL 2018

WHITES

Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc + Viognier
USA 2016 / Medium Body
From one of Napa Valley's classic wineries, this blend of 80% Chenin Blanc (for bright acidity and crisp sone fruit notes), with 20% Viognier (for richness and spice), is entirely fermented in stainless steel to allow each juicy layer to shine.

SOKOL-BLOSSER EVOLUTION
USA 2016 / Light Body
A 9-grape blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Gris plus aromatic varietals like Gewurtztraminer and Muller–Thuragu, this lively and fragrant wine is teeming with peach, apricot and melon fruit flavors, and gorgeous honeysuckle and orange blossom notes. Pairs incredibly well with spicy foods.

REDS

Monte Real Reserva
Spain 2012 / Medium Body
This is classic Rioja Reserva based on the region's indigenous Tempranillo grape. Extended barrel and bottle aging contribute complexity, and layers of scent and flavor ranging from dark plums and figs, to tobacco, vanilla and sweet spice.

Louis Latour Valmossine Pinot Noir
France 2015 / Light Body
From the venerable Burgundy Maison Louis Latour comes with elegant Pinot Noir grown in the Var district of Provence in southern France. Low yields and traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques yield a Pinot Noir of great purity and elegance, with raspberry fruit, red licorice and truffy-earthy notes.

DESSERT

De Bortoli Vat 5 Botrytis Semillon
Australia 2016
Unctuous notes of honey apricots and peaches make this wine a delicious dessert-in-a-glass that also pairs well with ice cream and blue cheese.

Ferreira Dona Antonia Tawny Port
Portugal NV
Toasted pecan, toffee and brown sugar notes make this classic Port a great match with chocolate desserts, nuts and blue cheese.

CHAMPAGNE

Lanson Black Label Brut Champagne
France, NV
A perfect balance of power and finesse, this classic French Champagne shows a deep core of red apple fruit accented with layers of yeasty, toasty complexity.
