Whispering Angel Rose 2022 - Cotes de Provence, France - 4.1
Aperture Cabernet Sauvignon, 2022 - Sonoma County, California - 4.2
Domaine Serene “Evenstad Reserve” Chardonnay, 2023 - Willamette Valley, Oregon - 4.2
Catena Zapata “Argentino” Malbec, 2022 - Mendoza, Argentina - 4.5
Champagne Laurent-Perrier “La Cuvee” Brut, NV - Champagne, France - 4.1
Trimbach “Reserve Personnelle” Pinot Gris, Alsace, France - 4.1
Richard G. Peterson Pinot Noir, 2022/2023 - Santa Lucia Highlands, California - 4.3
Taylor Fladgate Vintage Porto, 2015 - Douro Valley, Portugal - 4.0

We drink a decent amount of Zapata's various Malbecs as they are quite affordable (even the very nice ones) where we live, in comparison with the prices in the US. Indeed they are very nice wines.
I have done the same by checking the wines on Vivino, and the Zapata Malbec is now my go to wine on UA Polaris flights.
