Best Uses

  • Formal Dining
  • Special Occasion

I use them everyday and they DO enhance the tasting experience. They may be the best wine glass I have ever used. Due to the price and delicate nature of the glass, I would only recommend 'anytime' use if your glasses have no exposure to childred and pets. I would highly recommend them.

They are wonderful, and make the wine even more enjoyable.If you want dishwasher safe and bombproof glasses, look elsewhere [...]. If you want to enjoy your wine in an elegant glass that was hand made and shaped to optimumize the flavor of your wines you have an excellent option with them. We went to the factory and saw what went into their manufacture, they are inexpensive when you see how they are made.

These are wonderful, but they are delicate, so handle them with the care they deserve. They really enhance the experience of drinking a fine wine. Beautifully hand made and we love them. If you are looking for a bombproof wine glass, keep looking.

We served a '96 chablis from one of two producers who use oak. Incredibly the glass captured the wines nuances, similar to a burgundy in style. Highly recommend, worth the extra step if serving fine wines.

We love these glasses for use with Montrachet. Will also enhance the experience with premium California Chardonnay. I've owned for years and haven't found a better product. Just treat them with care and they'll last...
