The most interesting find…
The new Oregon Pinot Noir glass from Riedel. I was absolutely floored by the performance of this glass. I used it for tasting Oregon Pinot Noir, Oregon whites, Barolo, Aussie Shiraz and everything else short of the neighbor’s cat. It’s the bomb. If you are wanting an all purpose, “show young wines well” kind of glass this is the ticket. Tip: you can buy this right now direct from a few Oregon wineries that actually have some left for sale for around $15.00. Most are already sold out. It’s the “restaurant” version of the glass and must have the winery’s name etched on the side (don’t you just love those anal Bavarians?). The official release of this glass which I presume will be a Sommelier release will happen in the later part of July. Buy it and try it. Trust me folks.
