Christmas Gifts for Winelovers

If I didn't already have a  set of Riedel  tasting  glasses it is what I would want for Christmas.  Last year I  was lucky enough to attend a Riedel  wine tasting when a member of the Riedel family was on a visit to their  New Zealand distributor . 

Four wines were presented for tasting.  Each wine was poured into three glasses  - a regulation wine tasting glass, another wine glass and finally the glass designed for that particular wine.  The differences in taste were markedly different.  I'm not a big  fan of chardonnay, but in the correct glass I could drink it without pulling a face.

Check out the Distributor's page  of the website for your local supplier.  If you are really lucky you might even find a tasting session in your city.  This would be a great gift for a loved one with an interest in wine.  The four glass tasting session is ideal for anyone wanting to learn  more about wine.
