FORT WORTH, Texas, April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- A relaxing meal at
30,000 feet should be complemented by a signature glass of wine
from a region of the world significant to that flight. Classically
trained winemaker and viticulturist, Ken Chase, is now selecting
wines for American Airlines so travelers can experience new
adventures in taste. "American's wine program
http://www.aa.com/wine aims to satisfy a traveler's desire to enjoy
fine wines selected specifically for their flight and also to
complement our inflight dining options," said John Tiliacos,
Managing Director of Onboard Products for American. "Ken Chase
brings his extensive knowledge of wine to American's wine program
to further enhance the onboard experience for our customers." Ken
Chase's classical training and international reputation as a wine
maker make his selections even more appealing and credible to
travelers, especially those with some wine expertise who travel on
international and transcontinental flights. Chase has a vast
knowledge of European, North American, and South American wines.
Ethnic, cultural, seasonal and stylistic factors are always
considered when choosing the correct wines for each flight. Chase
ensures that the wine selections for these flights meet these
criteria of each national and international destination. "With each
wine, I seek to provide American's passengers with a sense of
adventure by offering wine varieties with dynamic flavor profiles
that complement the inflight menus," Chase said. American is not
just paying more attention to their wine, but to their wine glasses
as well. In order to further enhance their customers' wine tasting
experience, American introduced a new and larger wine glass for
First Class cabins on the international Boeing 777 and the
transcontinental Boeing 767-200 aircraft. These new glasses allow
customers to swirl and take in the aroma of their wine before
tasting it. American's complete list of wines change regularly. The
