It's not terrible but I don't particularly like the La Marca prosecco, especially if I want a mimosa. I'm blanking on the name of it but the stuff VX used to serve (and that AS continued to serve for a while on Airbus flights until it eventually went entirely to La Marca) was quite a bit better IMO.

I cannot find an AS Lounge Wine List
All this talk about wine got me thinking about what is being served. I could not find a wine list for the free choices and premium choices (with cost) in the AS lounge. Can someone point me to it?
Thansk!

I don't recall ever seeing one. I can tell you that the comp swill has been marginal for years. Sometimes, it has been the foodservice version of two buck chuck (not available for retail sale, so you can't comparison shop). While the comp beer selections have been respectable in recent years, if AS spent another 79¢ a bottle, we'd be much more happy.

I've had some AS chardonnay over the years that ended up "in a better place" after I couldn't drink more than a couple of sips.

When I was last in SEA N they had a red from Browne as one of the premium offerings.

a bit OT, but AS/QX had Aviation gin on our PAE-SFO flight this afternoon 
a nice upgrade from Tanqueray, but I still miss the Sun Liquor “Hedge Trimmer”
