Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1983

Solid Bordeaux with 37 years of age - solid cork and compact sediment. A compliment to pasta / sausage/ cheese + herbs.👀. A glass the next day was elegant and tasty. Will try another bottle next month. — 5 years ago

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Lots of blackberries up front, a bit tannic, might still need some time to fully open up? Very solid showing — 8 years ago

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2014

That's more like it. Tobacco, roasted meat juices, rosemary, mineral-rich earth. Less muscular than other vintages, however I seem to like this best of the recent five years or so. Solid pour from my friends at the Sky Club. — 8 years ago

@Eric S I totally get the whole situation of being locked in from a miles perspective. That said, I avoid American aka "The Greyhound of the skies" as much as I can. I have had such horrible service over the years from US Air I'm permanently scarred. If only I had enough bank, I'd get myself a NetJets card 🛩

I play both fields - delta and American. I need about 30K to get to be a million miler on American. Have just been stuck because American didn't fly out of my area until they merged with US Air.

I thought Greyhound of the sky was Allegient or southwest?

Frank Family Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Had several bottles over last 9 mos, aging well! Deep ruby color and aromas of dark fruit, berries, mint and cedar, with a slight earthy scent. The wine is a blend of 86% Cab Sauv, 9% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot & 1% Cabernet Franc and aged for 20 months in 30% new French oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry & sweet plum with oak and cacao. This full bodied wine finished with notes of tobacco and earthy notes, oak, well balanced with solid tannin structure. Delightful! Great value. — 5 years ago
