Killing time on a plane: What to drink with chicken or beef ?
Flyers all over the world have their own way of adding a bit of excitement to an otherwise boring journey. Some people make their in-flight food choice such a big event that they debate their opinions (“Chicken or beef?”) for more than half an hour. Others try to make friends and talk to everyone around them. Not my cup of tea.
I like to read a book and enjoy a wine that complements my chicken of beef. I love to try a new wine or to see what wines the airline has on offer.
I’m not the only one. I came across the blogpost of a guy named Terry, who writes about his recent Delta Airlines flight from Seattle and the great wine (Arniston Bay Chardonnay / Chenin Blanc) he had on flight.
Then I followed the link via Linkedin and I ‘know’ what this complete stranger looks like and what his are interests. It appears that we share the same taste in wine and have the same ways of killing time on an plane. The technological era which were are living in is simply amazing!

Greetings,
I’m the guy named Terry. Whenever I get a chance to try a wine from South Africa I go for it. Usually I’ll drink reds with food, but this summer has been so hot that I’ve tried and enjoyed more whites. So the Arniston Bay 2008 Chenin Blanc/Chardonnay was a perfect choice with or without food on my Continental flight from Seattle back to the hot and steamy east coast. The Continental flight attendant managed to keep my glass full, the wine is also great by itself.
Cheers,
Terry
