Probably delivered by accident and heavily discounted! Still, good news. Let's hope they have some in the CCR too

Praise be, it is still here! There is also a 1er cru Chablis which I will report on, and a pessac. A pleasant surprise indeed. This is surely the answer to a world traveller overnight flight.

Following a decent stint, the Taittinger is nearly out.
Replacement is Michel Forget Grand Rosé. Looks a bit chavvy but I will reserve judgement until I have tried a couple glasses.

So, the story behind the Tatt is that, yes, it was a mistaken delivery, as was the Michel chateau de sh!t. I had a bottle of the Tatt rosé sent to the CCR and it sailed down. Also did a back to back comparison with the Henriot and the Tatt is soooo much better. Would be nice to have it back permanently!

On my recent flight LHR-HND return in F I really enjoyed the dessert wine (the sauternes) but I failed to make a note of what it was. Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks KARFA.
I still find the champagne option a big disappointment for the JFK CCR!
What champagne is in the JFK GF at the moment?
