Featured Wines

Some of these wines may only be available on selected flights. Your flight attendant will inform you of today’s selections.

Champagne

Heidsieck Monopole Blue Top Brut NV Champagne
The Monopole “Blue Top” has a showy, vibrantly nutty nose and very creamy mouth but still retains Champagne’s ability to pair up well with a wide variety of foods.

Pommery Brut Royal NV Champagne
Pommery has a reputation for consistently producing soft and charming Champagne that is full, rich and still balanced between fruitiness and earthiness : nutty, ruch and juicy, with toast, pear and apple for a very long end.

White Wine

Château De Tracy “Mademoiselle De T” 2005 Pouilly Fumé (Sauvignon Blanc)
2005 is one of the best vintages yet for Sauvignon Blanc in northern France. The wines are wonderfully fruity, bone dry, and rich without heaviness.

William Fèvre Chabils 2005 Champs Royaux (Chardonnay)
If you make Chardonnay without new barrels (as it traditional in Chablis), you end up with tart fruits and something a bit like mushrooms and minerals.

Estancia Pinnacles Chardonnay 2005 Monterey
Chardonnay prefers to cool off at night, and Monterey is an ideal region for it. It doesn’t lose any intensity, it simply gains complexity and drinkability.

Hawk Crest Chardonnay 2006 California
California’s forte is this rich and buttery style of Chardonnay, and Hawk Crest enjoys a tradition of excellent and stylish Chardonnay.

Red Wine

Taurus Roble 2004 Toro (Tempranillo)
The Toro region of Spain has become a hot property for Tempranillo, and the wines are big and powerful.

Capçanes Mas Donís 2005 Montsant (Tempranillo / Garnacha)
Spain is the hot new thing in the international marketplace, even though they’ve been making wine for a few thousand years. Their top red grapes, Tempranillo and Garnacha, are now offering lush, juicy New World-styled wines.

Aquinas Merlot 2004 Napa Valley
Aquinas Merlot from Napa Valley (owned by the Sebastiani family) carries the bright blue fruits, black tea and rich cherry finish that the best Merlots can offer.

Pedroncelli Bench Vineyards Merlot 2005 Dry Creek Valley
A layered and dense Cabernet, made in Dry Creek Valley, an area most famous for its Zinfandels, and perhaps the wild character of Zinfandel shows through, with black cherries, plums, spice and cloves.

Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz-Mourvedre 2004 South Australia
Penfolds remains the most famous name in Australian wine and the Bin 2 Shiraz is a fruit-laden and joyous expression of the grape.

Warburn Barrel Matured Shiraz 2007 Barossa Valley
Warburn is an ideal example of the character of Australian Shiraz, with coconut, cassis and blackberry flavours. This has the voluptuous richness that typifies Australian wine.

Sandeman Founders Reserve Porto will be offered during the main meal’s dessert.
