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.
