I don't have a blog, but do keep an occasional eye on the wines in GF. It's generally a selection of wines in the £8-15 UK retail price (sometimes lower in LGW Flounge), some of which are better than others, with the occasional appearance of something a level up. Some examples from LHR GF in recent months:

Prima La Encina 2016 (Ribera del Duero), "1935" Vieilles Vignes Morgon 2016 (Cru du Beaujolais), Esk Valley Riesling 2018, DV Catena Historico Red Blend 2015, Complicated Pinot Noir 2016 (Sonoma)

A level up: Chateau Lynch-Moussas 2009, Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2006, Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis Grand Cru 'Les Clos' 2014
