Product Description
The creme de la creme of luxury stems. The Riedel Sommeliers wine glass line is the top-of-the-line series of stemware from the legendary Riedel. Wine experts agree that glassware makes a profound difference on how wines taste. Riedel Sommeliers wine glasses are the benchmark and the most successful series of hand-made glasses in the world. Each Sommeliers wine glass is individually made of 24% lead crystal: the wine glass bowls are mouth-blown into a mould, the stem and base are handcrafted using ancient glass-making methods. Recommend to hand wash. The Riedel Sommeliers Cabernet/Merlot/Bordeaux Wine Glass was developed to highlight the unique characteristics of great Bordeaux. The large bowl allows both young and more mature wines to breath, delivering a full spectrum of aromas and brings out the full depth of wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. On the palate, the texture of the wine � soft, silky, velvety � is intensified and the finish prolonged, gently blending acidity with supple, sweet tannins. Recommended for: Bordeaux (red), Brunello di Montalcino, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc. Size: 10-5/8"H x 3-1/8" Dia., 30-3/8 oz. Riedel Model # 4400/00

I have had my Somelier glasses for well over 10 years now, actually brought them with me from Austria when I moved in 97, and I agree that they make a difference. I cannot truly enjoy wine from a cheap glass anymore. Even the less expensive Vinum series by Riedel, which is machine blown, does not get close to the experience of the Somelier glass.
They are very delicate and fragile, which is the only caveat that I have. Drying one off with a kitchen towel has do be done very carefully - always hold it by the glass bowl, never by the stem. They break easily, and replacing one does cut a hole in the average household budget.
