Iberian lounge Madrid airport. Had a very tight connection so I could only do a drive-by. Did manage to have a quick slurp of this very lackluster Verdejo.

American/British Airways lounge Greenwich. The food is the usual chicken thigh sludge, but one bright spot appears to be these tea sandwiches!

Iberian air got me entry to the AA/BA Greenwich lounge at JFK -- their " least good " apparently but my favorite. This quaffable rose is on offer (self serve, which is my favorite kind of serve) as is piper heidsack champagne!

Delta lounge LGA. The bar opened up five minutes ago and the bartender has already gone through two bottles of Prosecco. I opted for a bloody Mary instead.

Venice airport Marco Polo lounge. This is the far more typical ode to bread at an offbrand European lounge.

Rainy Venice morning--Marco Polo Airport lounge. These cheese and meat bureks are on offer β about as stodgy as they look. The wine is surprisingly not self serve β a typical for a European lounge β but it appears to be a local fruity Soave. Not great, but not horrible.

United airlines Polaris lounge EWR--in honor of the Spanish inspired buffet I decided to try the AlbariΓ±o on offer and it's a tad sweet but not bad!

United lounge AGAIN β but this time it's Polaris! The bar has the always drinkable if somewhat uninteresting, whispering angel β and this rice is on offer. It looks neither summery or nearly as festive as the confetti would implyβ¦

United lounge MSY. Again this is a pay to play lounge. The wine selection β even the premium ones β is pretty dire. Three different Chardonnays and a "white blend". So we're having martinis instead. This is the food on offer. I have no idea what seasonal enhancements meansβ¦

United club lounge at Newark. This is one where you have to pay to play. There is a house white and a house red β this is a premium rosΓ© for about seven bucks a glass. Certainly not the worst thing I've ever drunk on a Wednesday morning.

Boru lounge, Shannon airport. Breakfast is a sad and pallid affair β this is pretty much it besides some dry sodabread and a few packets of cheese. Alas No hot food whatsoever.

Boru lounge, Shannon airport. TINY. Besides these two mediocre wine offerings there is a bottle of Bailey's, an Irish vodka called "Dingle"-- and some non- alcoholic gin. Most folks are going straight for the (canned) Guinness.

United Airlines Polaris lounge EWR β the wine offer doesn't look terrible--there is the bland but classic whispering angel, and an interesting looking AlbariΓ±o. But it is so so hot that I opted for a spritz.

United Polaris lounge -- EWR! This is their flagship... but the buffet is pretty sparse and uninspired, Spanish inspiration be damned. Besides this β there is the requisite pallid chicken thigh dish, and a pile of gloopy tortellini. And of course β stunningly red charcuterie.
