As I was assembling the Wine For Newbies Marketplace, I was thrilled to see that Amazon carries the Riedel Overture Magnum red wine glasses. Although I raved about these a bit on the Marketplace page, I just have to give them a big promotion here.
These wine glasses are hands down the best ones I own. I own Riedel Chianti glasses, Sauvignon Blanc glasses, ice wine glasses, Pinot Noir glasses, Syrah glasses, Champagne glasses, and some I probably have forgotten about. Still, whenever I’m having wine, I’m always reaching for and pulling down one of these Overture Magnums (so called since they are larger in size). When we have our wine tasting group over, regardless of what we’re having, I use these glasses.
It’s noteworthy, too, that a number of wineries use them in their tasting rooms.
They are not the cheapest wine glasses, but they are far from the most expensive. Get yourself a set of four. Get your friends a set of four. Looking for gifts for those hard-to-buy people? These are perfect–everyone can always use a set of good wine glasses.
Now, it’s time for me to go open some wine and enjoy one of these excellent pieces of stemware.
