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!

Well I have lucked out then. The Michel is currently side by side with the Taitt and I prefer the latter. The Michel seems a bit sickly sweet.

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 KARFA.

I still find the champagne option a big disappointment for the JFK CCR!

What champagne is in the JFK GF at the moment?

No kidding. Those are business class Champagnes on many other airlines.

Thats a very poor champagne offering for the CCR. The LPGS is deeply underwhelming and the barely drinkable NF is not even supermarket standard. BA should be embarrassed to be offering it. Where is the Bolly, Perriet Jouet, Tattinger?
