<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by 3544quebec:

Whites - Tower Estate Riesling, Mount Pleasant Lovedale Semillon, Penfolds Adelaide Hills Chardonnay

Reds - Barwang Cabernet Sauvignon, St Huberts Pinot Noir, Woodstock The Stocks Shiraz

Dessert - invariably (it seems to me) Carramar Estate Botrytis Semillon

Port - Para Liqueur Port

The Lovedale is a surprising choice, it is a lovely wine but only when over 10 years old and has a multi-year closed down period while aging ... somehow I doubt it is the '86 that QF is serving. And the Huberts PN doesn't like to be shaken (don't ask how I know this). I'd settle for Penfolds The Valleys Chard (quite cheap but travels well); thanks for the tip to check the galley for the good wine -- maybe the captain gets to place orders for leftovers.
