    Thunder at 30,000 feet. Can’t beat that.

    QOTD: A $5 shot of well gin…..

    Great idea for an episode! And I’m sorry they were serving Vendange…

    QOTD: Probably the Harp lager I had on the way to Ireland… just because it was the first alcoholic drink I had ever had on an airplane, and it was my first trip to Ireland. Memorable.

    P.S. Enjoy the hell out of Vegas!!!

  • Cuse Wino

    Nice episode, did you tell the woman to your left you were going to tape an episode?

    QOTD- nothing really any good on an airplane. I remember a wine with a fish on the label on a COntinental Airlines flight that did not kill me

  • Nice show!!! To answer your question: never had wine on a plane, but the best drink I ever had was a Bloody Mary. Peace!!! 🙂

  • I must say awesome show! I like when you put the camera down and get the “heavens shine down on the Thunder Show” aspect!

    QOTD: Jack and coke on ironically enough Southwest Airlines!

  • WinstonBaby

    Excellent show GV! Who cares about the wine, I loved it when I saw the “Splatter” hit the laptop! QOTD…2003 Genesis Cabernet on a flight to Vegas!

  • Gin and tonic. Midwest Express used to give you all the wine you could drink, but it was generally crap and I couldn’t really taste much at that altitude anyway.

  • Jimbo

    Hey GV, First time post!!!!!!! Love your show. QOTD: Coke i guess.

  • Greg B.

    Big G, Fun Stuff. You need to do that one again on a different Airline in First Class.

    QOTD: All about the Bloody Mary Mix with and without the Vodka. : )

    Really enjoyed the last two shows, Gary, keep up the creative bent.
    QOFT: Not really trying to be a snob here, but most memorable was conducting a wine tasting for the First Class Cabin crew on a Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong; great white burgundy, grand marque Champagne and Chateau Lascombes (I think).

  • Best wine had on an airplane?
    Nederburg Rose on Southafrican Airlines back in the days… yepp, a Rose!

  • hahaha LOVED that one. I really didn’t see that one coming.

    QOTD: Okay, Air France doesn’t do TOOOOOO bad with their wines. However Lufthansa will in no way skip on the booze for a nice screwdriver (not to mention they orange juice they use is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!) Sorry, I got excited there.

  • Chilemily

    Like the change of location!!

    QOTD: I’ll have to be boring and go with trusty ginger ale.

    Oh and I will keep on mentioning a Chilean wine episode until you do one 🙂

    Saludos from Chile!

    Hey Gary – fun show. I was waiting for the wine-spit!

    About 25 years ago, my wife and I flew with our then new-born son from Phoenix to L.A. to attend my grandmother’s 85th birthday party. We were on America West and the three of us were the only passengers! How that happened, I can’t say. The Captain said they would have cancelled the flight, but the plane was needed in L.A. for a return trip later that day. Anyway, it was a Sunday morning flight and all we wanted was orange juice & coffee. The problem was that for two paying passengers, they would not fire up the ol’ juice machine & coffee pot [they said the machines weren’t working that morning] so the best drink on that flight was water!

    Since the wine usually sucks on airplanes, beer is a safe alternative. They can’t screw that up.

    Good luck in lost wages.

    I’ve never had a decent drink or food on a plane.
