Event: Riedel Tasting June 25
Jun 6, 2009 St. Louis, missouri, wine
If you like wine, you know Riedel as the stemware manufacturer that originated the idea that different beverages should be served in different glasses to enhance the characteristics of each. Whether you’re skeptical about the need for such glasses, or thoroughly convinced, you also know they’re beautiful, expensive glasses.
That makes the June 25 Riedel tasting event at The Wine & Cheese Place all the more enticing as you’ll not only get to sample four wines in four pieces of their Vinum XL stemware to see if there’s truly a difference first hand, you’ll get to take those babies home. As the class is just $50, that’s like getting a $70 discount.
Full details and sign up info can be found at The Wine & Cheese Place’s blog, but the glasses are the Riedel Vinum XL Sauvignon Blanc, Montrachet, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet.
