This week’s photo comes from our Caribbean cruise last month. During our last day at sea we attended a Riedel wine glass seminar on the ship. If you are a wine drinker and have not experienced a seminar that allows you experience how the quality of your wine glass affects the wine, you are missing out. I highly recommend taking one or experimenting at home with the right glasses. Working in a winery and being a wine lover, I learned long ago about the importance of the wine glass and how it alters the wine. I will go into more detail in the post on the seminar itself, but suffice it to say, a good wine can be an absolute waste in the wrong glass, so please don’t put that $100 California Cabernet in an IKEA wine glass!

Very interesting! We have had the good fortune of acquiring some Riedel pieces from our very generous wedding guests and I always wondered if it was just a gimmick. I want to collect them all, haha. They make so many that I think storage might be a problem.
Cleaning too! I’ve already broken two of the Shiraz glasses we got in our initial set. I’m terrified to use some of the new ones since they’re more expensive…I think I’ll let Erin clean those. They did give specific cleaning instructions in the seminar though, so hopefully that helps.
