The First Wine Blog Written from an Intercontinental Flight! Yet another first for this site.. I am on a Lufthansa flight from Munich to New York City and there is a wifi connection on board the aircraft. So here it is, the first wine blog written from an airplane flight! Unfortunately, I have nothing to say. It is particularly difficult toi type as the Grandmother in front of me has pushed her seat all the way back. There is not much leg room on this flight and despite our record breaking sales of Gringolino this year, I still cannot afford business class. I keep kicking the back of her seat to wake her up and every so often get up and I forcefully shake her seat. I hope, vainly, that this will convince her to move her seat back to the upright position. But she won't take a hint and plans to lean back and enjoy the flight. So, please forgive me for any typographical errors as it is very hard to move my fingers around the keyboard, which is being pushed into my stomach by the extended seat in front of me. For those of you curious.....they are showing one of the Harry Hopper movies. I have not been watching. Lunch was a horrible beef goulash which I could not eat. |
