LaTerra Wine

[DP]

Is this still the only wine available for Diamond Plus & Diamond evening events?

[marci22]

They were serving it on the Explorer in July. I've never been served anything else on other ships, but some people have mentioned other brands occasionally.

[DP]

I sure hope it is not La Terra on our Dec cruise.

[39august]

It is usually La Terrible, sorry to say.

[jljlinda]

It was La Terra on the Freedom three weeks ago.

Got to agree....they were serving this on Oasis in the Concierge Lounge...it was so bad that I had to break down and leave to go to Vintages and pay for a decent glass of wine.....maybe that is their game plan. What a shame when you pay big money for a suite and this is what they serve you for a pre-dinner drink in the CL:rolleyes:

I've found that once you get past the first 3-4 glasses, it starts to taste OK. Or you could do what my wife does and order it as a wine high-ball. The seven up enhances (kills) the flavor pretty well.

Unfortunately, in the the CL there is no alternative only 'la Terra' !!!

LOL... isn't that the truth! After 3-4 hefty glasses I start to like it:eek:!!

The CL on Radiance had Danzante Pinot Grigio in April. The La Terre seems to vary from week to week. They must get their grapes from all over. Sometimes the white is ok. The red has always been nasty IMHO.

For me, having no taste really pays off somtimes and it tastes fine after one glass. ;)

[publicpersona]

It is actually La Terre. And in quantity, sells for about $2.50 a bottle.

LOL, I always guessed $3.00 a bottle so I was close. BTW, if you drink White Z they have another brand on some ships for sure. I do not drink it but I have seen it, think it might be Beringer White Z.

Me too. Being a cheap date, one glass kills the taste of the second.

[Clarea]

When you pay $50 per person for the Portofino Mystery Dinner Theater, guess what wine they serve ..... Yes, La Terre!

[skandls]

White La Terre 3 thumbs down, Red one thumb down. I find the white totally undrinkable. The red has to do in a few of the 'occasions' on the ship.

[hockeyken]

:eek: This wine is so bad, I wouldn't pour it on a burning cat.....and I like cats.

 

The winery sent a sample to the labs for testing. Two weeks later the reply came back : " Congratulations-your horse is pregnant."

Thanks for the giggle! :D

Oh, I like Danzante Pinot Grigio! Now, I would take La Terre White over Asti Spumanti (sp) any day!! ;)

Does "Laterre" translate to "the dirt"? Whatever's left is used to degrease engine parts.

Hey - that's MY name!! :p

 

Terre means earth actually. ;)

The champagne is very drinkable. Hic.

Yes, it's not bad.

Good to know. :(

yep....

[cruzincurt]

If I were to pay "big money" for a suite, I probably would not be hoping to save some money drinking house wine or worrying if it was complimentary or not.:rolleyes:

Like cheap beer

Thanks so much, I needed a few good laughs this morning!:D:D

[RoofingPrincess]

A fellow cruiser on the Jewel transatlantic told us they'd actually run out of La Terrible and actually had to start serving something a little better!
