Forget those overpriced Riedl
glasses out there. Use what I use: Spiegelau.
Just as good as Riedl but less expensive, plus they don't break every
time you look at them. These are the deal! Buy
six or more of any of the glasses below and get another buck off the per-glass
price!

Bordeaux (22 oz.) |
$11.95 |
This fabulous
glass with voluminous tulip-shaped bowl accentuates the character of a fine
wine. Its bouquet is given a youthful accent as it flows in concentrated
form to the nose. Thus the somewhat higher alcohol content typical of world
-class wines is not overly accentuated. The viscosity of the wine provides
a fascinating veil on the sides of the glass- a reflection of the wealth
of natural elements contained in a fine wine. Ideal for Premier Grand Cru
wines from the Bordeaux region as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and
Syrah. |

Burgundy (25 oz.)
|
$11.95
|
A magnificent
glass designed for world-class wines; one that reflects the premium quality
of a wine. The wide bowl maximizes the contact surface between the wine
and the air so that the fruity aroma virtually explodes. evaporating alcohol
carries the fragrance of the wine to the nose and tongue. The wide opening
of the glass helps distribute the wine's fullness and complexity across
the palate. Perfect for top quality French Grand Cru burgundies, vintage
Barolos, and the finest Pinot Noir. |

Chianti
|
$10.95
|
A classic
long-stemmed red wine goblet of medium size, this glass was designed for
a variety of red wines from different kinds of grapes and different vintages.
Young red wines need plenty of air to bring out their aroma. Older wines
requiring less air unfold their bouquet more quickly. Ideal for more fruity
wines with less tannin nuances, for example Chianti Classico, Zinfandel,
Navarra, Dornfelder, Blauer Zweigelt. Also an excellent glass for a mature
Chianti Classico Riserva or Bordeaux Superieur. |

Chardonnay
|
$10.95
|
To fully
enjoy the bouquet of fruit flavors: apples, peaches, plums, vanilla and
acacia blossoms, white wine drinkers prefer a specially shaped glass. The
white wine bowl is smaller than a red wine glass and extremely thin so that
the lips can sense the coolness of the wine. We think it's perfect for chardonnay,
pinot gris, pinot blanc, white bordeaux, vouvray, pouilly fuisse or aligote.
We'd especially recommend it for sipping Cameroni's Vino Pinko (it makes
the guerrilla in you look so much more sophisticated). |

Champagne
|
$10.95
|
Tall Champagne
glass designed for elegant sparkling wines characterized by their multifaceted
texture and ripened brilliance. The slightly corpulent bowl helps unfold
and accumulate the wine aromas while the tapered shape of the glass transports
them in concentrated form to the nose. This glass also provides plenty of
surface space for the effervescent pearling effect - or "perlage" in French.
Ideal for vintage Champagnes and prestigious Cuvees as well as elegant sparkling
wines of the world. |

Martini
|
$10.95
|
Classic martini glass with wide
bowl with enough room for embellishments. This glass is unique in that it
is weighted more in the stem due to the thin walls of the bowl. This provides
a wonderful, stable feeling in the hand. You have to see them to believe
them!Ideal for Martinis, champagne cocktails, Prosecco and tropical drinks.
We particularly like our Cooperstown martinis in these. |
