SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

So you book your R / F flts 12mths out and count down the days to be ‘let loose’ on the Krug - and then on 238 Sunday you are confronted with this:

Cristal not much of a step up from Dom IMHO - BUT - only saving grace is the Pol Roger - prolly the first B2B I have ever enjoyed - big step down from Krug but what do you do? 🤷‍♂️
 
And now to the reds - March Elderton Command was offered in F - yes that warrants a position on a F wine list - in May this reappears:

Seriously? SQ alleged ‘World Famous’ wine panel operating to a budget again or else they all got together and gave it a fair nudge before discussions 🥂🍷🥃🍸🍹🍾

Cruiser, you’re on 238 tomorrow? Us plebs in J don’t have to worry about Krug being withdrawn! If you want some entertainment, come visit my 58 year old buddy who’s never left mainland Australia before.

Out of Perth there is no Krug as it is a business class flight to Singapore. The good news it is a sub 5 hour flight to Singapore.
 
I was going to say the same. I'll never have to worry about the lack of Krug at my seat although I did score a glass or two of DOM when I celebrated my 80th onboard recently on a quick trip to SIN, where I used to live.
