Can the big wine in the sky truly surprise you? Inside a sealed aircraft cabin, with thin air and dulled senses, many wines that shine on the ground seem to lose their color at altitude. Aromas and flavours may differ as well, to a greater or lesser degree. But for me, even at thirty thousand feet, a good glass of wine still deserves to be taken seriously, and can be recognized as such. And so, I began taking detailed tasting notes on what I was drinking during several recent journeys up high in the air, documenting the wines I tasted -some delightful, some disappointing, but all memorable in one way or another. Because even at cruising altitude, I believe every glass has something to say.
