Diane Teitelbaum of American Airlines
Ever wonder what it takes to get amenities onboard for the large number of customers served by someone like American Airlines? What kinds of wines do they serve, you might ask. Well, if you flew American Airlines to Italy in first or business class last May, you could have sipped Pommery Brut Non-Vintage Champagne, followed by Sileni New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc or Murphy-Goode Sonoma County Chardonnay and Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino or Clos du Val Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Join us as we talk with wine writer and consultant Diane Teitelbaum, who works directly with American Airlines to select the wines served on each of their flights.

I was so excited when I saw and listened to this episode as Diane’s predecessor was one of my professors at Purdue. Dr. Richard Vine taught in the Food Science department at Purdue and introduced me to wine when I worked in his enology lab with his assistant. Dr. Vine’s class was a great class and because of his clout with American Airlines, we were able taste great wines and listen to great speakers. I will always be greatful to his teaching and kindness while I was at Purdue. Diane sounds like a great successor to Dr. Vine and I wish her the best of luck.
