Can anyone share info about the wine that they pour for free? We have been on RSSC a number of times ---- are the free offerings on SS much different? Also, how are the prices for the wines they sell?

Thanks,

Jim

Jim,

At both lunch and dinner, the wine stewards will offer a choice of white or red......basically a wine of the day. It took a few days before we realised that you could ask for a different one - from then on we always asked for the New Zealand sauvignon blanc - which was excellent quality. Of course that meant that we had a bottle between the two of us, but these sacrifices have to be made!

Over the 10 days, our various lunch and dinner companions all had their preferred wines - and all were accomodated!

I can't comment on the wine selection in the $150 per head restaurant - i think you need to be a connaisseur of fine red wines to get enjoyment from the experience....our expertise comes in a martini glass.....

Thanks Wes, Gus and Ian.

Cheers!

Jim
