Lounge reviewer
Delta sky lounge JFK -- Delta has FINALLY changed their premium rosĂ© to a ChĂąteau la Mascaronne--much better than the sickly sweet Le Bernadin that they had before. And frankly, their complementary rosĂ© --a wine called Folly, unfortunately â is not bad either.

Delta lounge JFK â this is the winner of the most exotic breakfast item on the buffet. And it is oddly delicious.

Grand elite lounge CDMX. The bar sadly does not appear to open for another few hours â probably when I'll be in flight! So I can't evaluate the wine. However, this is by far the most interesting buffet offering.

Finally made it into the Centurion lounge!! It is beyond crowded⊠This is by far the most popular item on the buffet table. The wine is pretty mediocre. I am sipping a barely quaffable Oregon rosé.

Delta lounge JFK--made my way over to the lounge near the A gates--much smaller and typically much less busy. To my surprise, the complementary rosé was completely different! And it is also absolutely quaffable

AMEX lounge at IAH.This lounge is the polar opposite of the one in SLCâ overwhelmingly busy â subterranean â sludgy food. This pasty soup kind of sums it all up. On the bright side, I am sampling the Sauvignon Blanc and it's not disgusting.

AMEX Centurion lounge SLC. These are the wines on offer â which frankly are a tad disappointing. It may well be an extra bloody extra Mary morning for me, but if I was going to drink a wine, I guess it would be the Sauvignon Blanc.

AMEX centurion lounge SLC â extremely impressive buffet! Probably the most exotic I've ever seen in an airport lounge. AND--the bar is open even though it's only 6 AM. Kind of a shocker for Utah! Almost makes up for our first flight getting canceledâŠ

Admirals club EWR. I missed these... apple filled pancakes at the buffet. Not brave enough to eat! Was delayed at security because a man insisted that his passport had been stolen out of one of the bins. I finally got through, but I was kind of eager to see what happened.

Heading to Sundance--Bought my way into the admirals club at EWR! This is the entire breakfast set up â I walked past it twice looking for something more substantial. The wine on offer is a dreadful Chardonnay no surprise. But there is a premium H/B rosĂ© that is kind of quaffable.

Rainy Venice morning--Marco Polo Airport lounge. These cheese and meat bureks are on offer â about as stodgy as they look. The wine is surprisingly not self serve â a typical for a European lounge â but it appears to be a local fruity Soave. Not great, but not horrible.
