Irgendwie cool ist das schon. Der Perfektionismus der Service-Weltmeister-Airline aus Singapur geht laut diesem FAZ-Beitrag soweit, daß die Mahlzeiten unter "echten Bedingungen" in einer Luftdruckkammer am Changi Flughafen gekostet werden bevor sie dem Kunden in luftigen Höhen aufgetischt werden. Doch wär es nicht günstiger die Köche ab und zu mal mitfliegen zu lassen um ihre neuen Kreationen zu kosten? Sicherlich wäre das nicht so schön zu vermarkten in der On-Board Zeitschrift. Image is everything!

First of all one has to know that this is a very filigree wine. I knew it. But what occurred to me is that despite this knowledge, I tried it after having had a glass of powerful and intense Chardonnay; and of course, the Turmberg hence appeared extremely light and shallow. I closed the bottle again to give it another try a day later.
And then it was a much easier exercise. The nose has this slight smoky, wild touch which could emanate from spontaneous fermentation, but really just slightly, the body is balanced, mineral, not overpowered with fruit: it’s finesse from Rheingau! You get that impression of minerals dancing on your palate, some slate notes, and a fresh mineral finish. Definitely another nice Weil Riesling in the end!
