THE BUZZ

DRINK IT!

I only cook with a wine that l would happily drink by itself, in fact I highly recommend this practice.  After all cooking for oneself and others should be enjoyable, right?

Any wine marketed as specifically cooking wine is almost always awful and should be avoided completely.

So keep on cooking with wine. And remember to save some for your guests!

What's In Your Glass? 

5/20/2015

So what's in your glass?

I don't mean the wine this time. I'm talking about the actual glass!

There is a family that singularly changed the wine glass experience. The Riedel (rhymes with needle) family have been glass makers for 11 generations. The company was officially founded in 1756 when the first Riedel glass factory was opened in Austria by Johann Christoph Riedel.  Their business was mostly comprised of making windowpanes  and extravagant chandeliers. 


The first thin-blown long stemmed wineglasses were invented by Claus Josef Riedel in the 1960s designed to enhance specific characteristics of wine.

I'm not  sure whether or not the pinot noir glass really enhances pinot noir any more than the cabernet glass, we do however believe that a good wine glass makes a difference in your wine experience.

Besides I'm just too old to drink out of cheap wine glasses!

Riedel is available in our shop or by special order and soon online. Check events schedule  for test tastings with Riedel glassware. In the meantime what's in your cabinet?

Cheap or not, here is a guide for the many shapes and sizes of wine glasses and the coordinating wine family.
