Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru, Single Stem
Customer Review: The Best Wine glass for the Best taste!
Summary: 5 Stars
Contrary to popular belief- we really "taste" with our noses and not with our tongues. Tasting involves the tongue to a very minor extent (taste buds only detect sweet, sour, bitter, and salty). All the other favors or sensations are detected by the nose--the only time most people notice this is when they have a bad cold and stuffy nose--then nothing "taste" good.Therefore- you want a wine glass that can let the aroma linger, so you can get a good whiff.
In addition the thickness and curvature of the glass somehow alters your "taste" ... I'm not sure why ... but I think many people would agree that some drinks taste better out of the bottle under certain situations...like soda or beer on a hot day.
Therefore- you want a wine glass that is thin and has a curvature that you like. Unfortunately, a thin handsome wine glass is also easy to break. I have already broken a few...one an expensive Riedel Champagne glass.
In conclusion: This is my favorite wine glass for good red aromatic wines.
Description of Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru, Single Stem
The shape of the Sommelier Burgundy Grand Cru, developed in 1958, represented a quantum leap in terms of wine glass design ??? and has earned it a place in the permanent display of the New York Museum of Modern Art.This glass can take apart a lesser wine, mercilessly showing up its weaknesses. But a great wine ??? a top-class Burgundy, Barolo or Barbaresco ??? will be revealed in all its glory. The large bowl allows the bouquet to develop to the full, while the slightly flared top lip maximizes the fruit flavors by directing a precise flow onto the front palate. Certain wines and grape varieties require this type of controlled delivery. By ensuring that the fruit is highlighted while using the marked acidity of the wine to keep the flavors in balance, this is a glass that produces a superbly three-dimensional ???taste picture'. The simple yet beautiful glass is mouth-blown and made in Austria of lead crystal. For safe transporting, this individual stem arrives in its own shipping container with reinforced ends.Recommended for: Barbaresco, Barolo, Beaujolais Grand Cru, Blauburgunder, Burgundy (red), Dornfelder, Ech??zeaux, Gamay, Moulin ?? vent, Musigny, Nuits Saint Georges, Nebbiolo, Pommard, Pinot noir, Roman??e Saint Vivant, Santenay, Volnay, Vosne-Roman??e, Vougeot.Handmade of mouth-blown full lead crystal, this wine glass is from Riedel's top-of-the-line Sommeliers collection and is for those who take their wine seriously. Visually impressive, this gigantic glass is on permanent display at New York's Museum of Modern Art for its innovative design, which was developed in 1958. The glass is specifically shaped to highlight the fruit in certain red wines--Burgundy Grand Cru, Barbaresco, Barolo, Beaujolais Grand Cru, Blauburgunder, red Burgundy, Gamay, Nebbiolo, and Pinot Noir--while using the acidity for balance, presenting a three-dimensional flavor. The glass has the unique ability to enhance the taste of an outstanding wine and also to reveal any weaknesses in a lesser quality wine. The large bowl allows room for the wine's rich bouquet to unfold. The flared lip emphasizes the fruitiness of the wine by directing the wine to the front of the palate. The glass weighs a substantial 14 ounces and holds 37 ounces of wine. It stands 9-3/4 inches high with a 4-3/4-inch wide bowl. --Cristina Vaamonde
