Summary: 5 Stars
Vesta and I have been called pseudo wine nut cases off and on for years. We drink a bottle of Napa Valley Cab every night, sometimes two and sometimes we do a Bordeaux sometimes two and sometimes we do a big Bordeaux. We like our wine. I wouldn't say our teeth are floating in it, but we like it.
And we like clinking our wine glasses and hearing the neeto ping, so when we first came across these glasses in our friendly upscale wine store, we turned our noses toward the sky and pooh poohed them. But then one night -- when we had a couple young ones over while their parents were out listening to a band that fails miserably in passing off bad noise as music -- one of the kids accidently, and I know it was an accident because she said so, knocked over one of our wine glasses, spilling the wine and breaking the glass. Easy to do for a kid and a long stemmed glass.
Her parents, when learning about this, bought us a pair of these beauties. They didn't have to, we didn't beat their child or anything, didn't even raise our voices. Children are children, after all.
Now that we owned a pair of these glasses we'd thought were beneath us, we had to try them. So we did. And jeez, I almost hate to admit it, but we bought a couple more pair, bringing our supply up to a half dozen, because these are the only glasses we use now. They're a lot more kid friendly (we're like the neighborhood babysitters, probably because we really like kids and we don't charge, so the young couples on our block are more than happy to drop their children off at our house).
As for the finger print problem, we don't have that, because we wash our hands before we eat and before we pour. However, I will readily admit we don't get quite that neeto pinging sound when we clink glass, oh well, you can't have everything.
Description of Riedel O Chardonnay/ Viognier Wine Tumblers, Set of 2
Designed by 11th generation, Maximilian Riedel, these Riedel O Chardonnay/Viognier tumblers are reminiscent of the Vinum bowls, only without the stem. Trendy and sophisticated, these tumblers will perform much like Riedel's preceding wineglass creations, but will also fit easily into the dishwasher or cupboard without the worries of breaking the stem. For those who would like to experience the concept of matching the shape of the glass to the grape without the traditional stemmed glass, these Riedel O wine tumblers are the answer!Founded in 1756, Austria's Riedel Crystal is the world's premier manufacturer of wine glasses and has always catered to the fine wine connoisseur. However, these wine tumblers are the company's first attempt at producing a lower priced wine glass for casual entertaining. Like Riedel's prestigious Vinum series of glasses, these tumblers are specifically designed for a particular grape varietal and still maintain their ability to enhance the flavors and aromas of the wines they were intended for. The only difference is that the tumblers are missing their stems, making them slightly less delicate to handle, more modern in appearance, and easier to fit in smaller cabinets, mini bars, picnic baskets, and the dishwasher.
The O series of glasses are made of machine-made of non-leaded glass. The shape of the two glasses in this set is specifically recommended to balance the fruit and acidity in full-bodied white wines, such as Chardonnay and Viognier. Each glass holds 11-1/4 ounces of wine, stands 3-7/8 inches tall, and is completely dishwasher-safe. --Cristina Vaamonde
