"Special Offering" port in F during August

Hello,
I forgot to take a picture of the menu (or bottle) and I'm trying to find the name of the special offering/monthly proposal Port I had in F from FRA-IAD this August. I believe it was a pretty colorful bottle for port (white and blue?) but that's about all I remember. If anyone has menu pictures or knows the name I'm searching for I'd appreciate it!

Search the current Menu for the flight you took at LH.com, probably the same ?

Well, LH likes to serve cheap wines (of course carefully selected by a star sommelier) in F and in the FCT ... so it would not surprise me!

If you check the menu for LH 419 (IAD-FRA) in F for Sept., Graham's No. 5 white blend is right there.

The menu says n. 5: https://lh-menu.de/en/download/2023--08/F/415/2

Which looks like this:





Not really 'white & blue' as the OP describes.

It's possible I'm misremembering, thanks. I only found the September LH menu on my initial search so I appreciate you tracking this down!

It may not be the priciest bottle, but as an extremely casual fan of port I thought it was interesting and bright (literally and figuratively) compared to the various black-bottle tawnys I often see at my local stores. Thanks for the help!

The Grahams white blend is (rightfully) listed as an aperitif. In dubio pro LH I could imagine they would have a decent red port offer for after dinner.
