Between Delhi and Cairo I changed planes in the eighth wonder of the world - Terminal 3 in Dubai. People talk about Heathrow being a huge shopping mall, and the Seoul airport has quite a collection of shops, but the Dubai airport is ridiculous. And in the middle of it is an amazing wine shop - Le Clos. It's not very big, but this series of pictures shows it's pretty special. A little weird to be standing in the middle of a bunch of first growths and grand crus in an airport.
They had one of my favorite Burgundies - Comtes Lafon Volnay Santenots Du Milieu from the incredible 2005 vintage, so I picked up a bottle of that along with a 2005 Chateau Montrose. Prices were even lower than in the US.
It's great to be here and read some informative posts.
