I happen to be looking again at out wine selections, understanding we are still around 60 days away from our flight and things probably have not been finalized, I noticed a worrisome deletion. Now when looking at the wine list it has gotten noticeably shorter. Of note, it is not showing Dom, or any bubbles, and I noticed the Opus is gone as well. After doing a couple searches, I noticed the Opus fell off after the 19th of Feb and the Dom fell off the 28th of Feb.

Any thoughts?

Wonder if they are anticipating being out of the '08 Dom? and will run through their allotment of the Opus? Or is this just a case of they are finalizing the wine selection, and these will pop back up soon.

The Louis Latour 2011 Burgundy was also amazing and can validate at least 2 of those were boarded as well.

The Dom was just the 2008, no P2, but for science reasons I did have several glasses though after that decided to focus on the wines!
