Make sure you reserve the carafes on boarding - I had the 2004 on a flight the other day (and it's great), so was going to leave it to breathe in bottle, but another pax was drinking it :s

Had to be that awful Pharaoh Moans for the first half of the flight!

Found two unloved bottles in the F lounge at Concourse A this lunchtime.

My apologies for leaving only one behind...

Just checked the wine lists for my next 4 flights in January (All J,.2 class flights)
Disappointed yet again-no red Burgundy !

Jealous!! I'd argue that having these on the ground is an even bigger treat because your sniffer works properly... in the air things get really out of balance sometimes. The high notes (red fruit mostly) get accentuated and the tannins become a bit stronger, imo.

Anyone see any Opus One 2007 on the ground?

Also.. DP 2006 vs DP2009... I prefer 2006. More linear, floral. 2009 is weighty and toasty.

I fully agree.

Even though I love rummaging through the chillers in the F lounge [and how many pax do this?] - a more proactive approach to "offering" premium wines would be welcome IMHO.

First Class food is so much better on the ground - but wine and spirits are far better in the air.

I'd love the whole F product to be more consistent.

That's going to be insane. I've had a bunch of other 08's... and wow. Unless you don't like acid...

Apologies if answered already:

Is there any way to request the champagne from the J lounge whilst dining in the F lounge? Or would popping down there be the only way to sample the Moet 'nectar imperial' ?

thank you.
