American Airlines Names Ken Chase New Wine Consultant

American Airlines has appointed classically trained winemaker and viticulturist Ken Chase as the airline’s official wine consultant. He will select wines for customers traveling on American’s various routes throughout the world.

He will also pay careful attention to how wines are paired with menu offerings and factor into the selections the ethnic, cultural, seasonal and stylistic differences of each destination.

Mr. Chase has spent a significant portion of his life studying and understanding the classical wine-growing regions of Europe. In his distinguished career, Chase has shared his vast knowledge on various radio programs and with numerous corporations and wine-loving organizations.

As American’s wine consultant, Mr. Chase plans to share his knowledge of the world’s major wine-growing regions with those who are unfamiliar with the classic wine varieties, as well as to introduce unique wines from untraditional regions to those who enjoy learning about and tasting new wines.
