O

At the wine conference, we attended a seminar about wine glasses. There is a company that makes the best glasses for drinking wine, as well as many other alcoholic beverages. That company is Riedel. They make specific glasses for specific wines, they have a Chardonnay glass, Merlot, Champagne, anything you can think of, beer, cognac, etc. They have a new casual glass called the Riedel "O." They are stemless, so you don't have to worry about breaking the stem. They are also very dishwasher safe. It's a little odd at first, because as long as I can remember I was taught not to hold the glass by the bowl, and now all there is hang on to is the bowl. They are really fun, and do, surprisingly make the wine taste better. Everyone went home with a set of glasses, Chardonnay, Cabernet, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Noir. Here's the link, check them out for yourself.
