Cabernet Glass The generous, classic lines of this glass have immediate appeal for serious wine drinkers. Actually it's a fine glass for any still wine, but because of its size (14 oz.) it seems especially suitable for a red wine. Hand-blown in West Virginia. #8301 Cabernet Glass...holds 14
oz...7 in. tall......Each $10.00 |
| Long Stemmed Goblet More wine drinkers choose this glass than any other in our collection. Its classic lines enhance either a red or white wine. Indeed, it's an elegant, all-purpose glass. Visitors to such prestigious wineries as Joseph Phelps Vineyards, and Silverado Vineyards (Mrs. Walt Disney's beautiful winery) in the Napa Valley, will see it in use as a tasting glass. #8303 Long Stemmed Goblet...holds

Port and Sherry Glasses We learned most of our traditions surrounding Port from the English, and therefore the traditional glass has always been a classic tulip on a small scale. The 6 1/2 ounce glass, left above, is the standard. Lately, the trend toward larger glasses for all wines is influencing Port glasses, too. Robert Finigan writes in his ESSENTIALS OF WINE: "Vintage Port is a big wine and needs normal-size wine glasses to show at its best." #8717 Port Glass...holds 6 1/2 oz...6 inches tall Each $7.95

The traditional glass for Sherry in Spain is the Copita (little cup). Our version is
hand-blown for us in West Virginia. It makes Sherry service very distinctive. Both
the Sherry and Port glasses are useful for apertifs, other dessert wines, even
liquers, when poured in small servings.

| Gourmet Glass A new line of glasses has been produced by a West Virginia glass factory which has, for years, made other fine glasses for us. These are different. They've designed a glass for the wines that are most popular, and they've blown them thin enough for home use, but sturdy enough for restaurant use. The stems are long and slender and they are moderately priced. #9605 Cabernet Sauvignon
holds 18 oz...8 1/2 in. tall
Each $8.50 Plus Shipping |

| Merlion Glass This small version of the French Style Tasting Glass (see below) was produced at the request of Merlion Winery in Napa County. Connoisseurs judge it as effective as the larger version for critical evaluation of a wine. Its smaller size recommends it for carrying to tasting events, as well as for home storage. We engraved this glass for the winery (all the others are plain, of course), but we can engrave the name of your favorite taster, if you wish. Engraving charge, $6.00 per glass. #

French-Style Wine
Taster This distinctive tasting glass is designed for critical evaluation of a wine--not necessarily for wine drinking. A large bowl narrows to a very small mouth, and therefore concentrates all the bouquet of the wine. Winemakers and other professionals have been impressed by its effectiveness. Our version is hand blown of lime crystal (no lead content) and is well balanced on a graceful stem. #

Chimney Glasses The unusual shape of these glasses was originally inspired by the shape of a lamp chimney--hence their name. They are available in a whole family of sizes. Travelers in France's Burgundy region have reported seeing them in frequent use there. Their use in this country has increased rapidly the last few years. #8314 Tall Chimney (left) |

| Wine Cooler Glasses Now that Americans have discovered how refreshing a wine cooler can be, there's increased interest in the tall, slender glasses in whiich these are usually served. Half a glass of wine -- red or white -- with a couple of ice cubes is then topped with soda water or another sparkling water to fill the glass. The optic pattern in the glass makes them as attractive empty as when they are filled, but the pattern disappears when anyliquid is poured in. #8346 Wine Cooler Glass...holds
12 1/2 oz...7 inches tall |
