Four champagnes on offer now in the SYD F lounge

[JohnK]

You're not wrong, you just don't like champagnes. I don't like beers. I also don't like most sweet wines/sweet bubbles. It's just personal preference. I don't like mushrooms or mangoes, either, and people who love these foods would think that I'm crazy. *shrug*

Perhaps you are right.

I had a Laurent-Perrier Brut on a TG flight in business earlier this morning and it was quite easy to drink.

On my first ever F flight on SQ about 15 years ago I think I heard the most wonderful sentence in the English language:

'Krug or Dom Perignon sir?'

The correct answer would be... Both?

 

[DC3]

Q: 'Krug or Dom Perignon sir?'

A: Yes, please.

Q: 'Krug or Dom Perignon sir?'

A: Yes, please.

Reminds me of when I flew them. "Sorry Mr Flashware, you've drunk us out of the Krug .. will the Dom be OK?" "Oh, sure, I guess so:!:" :mrgreen:

Seems that a reefer is that too!

Who said ice road truckers isn't educational?

In 388 First last night it was "Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 'blanc de blancs' 1999"

Epiqure seem to have this in a case of 6 for $250 a bottle. Anyone know if that is a good price? I can't find it on dan murphys website.

My Answer was, 'Let's start with the Dom'.

It's a very decent price. I've seen this retail from anywhere between $230 to $340. Qantas would be getting a good discount on them, because with my suppliers I could only get it for about $210 a bottle.

Also the Heidsieck and Billiecart are okay prices, but not amazing.

Will be in F tomorrrow SYD/BKK on 747. Not the 380 evil but bring on the F Lounge taste buds ( 4 Champs) and happy to finish at the Tattinger Comte on the plane.

Will arrrive BKK spent

But Ooh what a feeling

Billiecart Salmon is my all time fav.

It is often listed as one of the J choices, but have never been able to get it; "Sorry we have just run out, have some Laurent Perrier, instead"!

Every time ... coincidence?

Update: I managed 3 glasses of the Billecart on QF30 on Monday. Then they ran out .... made me switch to the red which was V nice!

I didnt love the Comte on board - the flavour was ok but the aroma was quite off putting.

Does anyone know what the current sparkling in the QF Domestic J lounges is in MEL and SYD?

The current 4 champagnes in they SYD F lounge

Tattinger
Delamotte
Bollinger
Veuve Clicquot

The first 2 are quite OK but the taste gets muddled as you get down to the 3rd and 4th choices. I am sure the experts do not have the same sort of problem....

The experts tend to taste by the sip, rather than by the bottle

Be nice. I only had 1 glass (1/2 actually) of each and my first taste of each 1/2 glass was a sip!

 

[Boris spatsky]

Delamotte? That must be new. Is it better than Taittinger ( my favourite)??

 

[simongr]

Hmm just in the lounge now - tried the delamotte but it seemed flat - nit sure if that is the style or the bottle had been open a while.. Switched to a perkier Bolly.

Delamotte is lovely Champagne - From the Salon stable. Probably open too long, if it was not up to scratch. That's sad.

The bolly is slipping down quite nicely - just waiting for 11AM to tick over so I can follow up the bacon with some fries
