Martha, Max and the Perfect Glass

Are you of the mind set that says glass size doesn't matter? I must admit to being a skeptic myself at one time. That is until I was invited to a tasting with (the now late) Robert Mondavi of the famous California wine family and Georg Riedel, father of Maximilian in this video.

I went into the tasting ready to not be impressed. It didn't last long. The Riedel stemware proved to me the importance of the proper glass style and how it relates to your experience of a particular grape variety.

If you can, try doing a comparison with a regular every day wine glass versus an appropriate Riedel glass for the grape variety being tasted. I promise you, you will be blown away by the difference.

I, like Martha, am the proud owner of Riedel stemware. This is one investment definitely worth making.

Cheers!
