| Offered by a local retailer:
Riedel Crystal Wine Glasses on Sale...
We have great everyday pricing on Riedel but this is a super deal on the
Sommeliers series.
We are offering a mixed 3 pack(1 of each) of the Riedel Sommelier Bordeaux,
Burgundy, and Chardonnay glass for the ultra low price of $69.99 per 3-pack.
The regular suggested combined retail of these glasses is $240.00.
These glasses are offered to us with minor flaws (such as tiny air
bubbles) in the stem or bowl which are sold off at deep discounted prices.
The Sommelier Series is all hand blown Austrian crystal of the finest grade.
These will be arriving soon so call to reserve your boxes. They won't last
long at these prices.
--
Not sure if they will ship these direct but will call to find out if anyone is interested.
If not, I will be happy to pick them up and ship them for you. | | |

| Just spoke to them -- they will be happy to ship out-of-state.

Ask for John or Keith
Little point of trivia: The store is owned by ex-NFL player Chris Hinton. It's fun to talk wine with a guy who is that large... | | | |

| That's a good deal. A friend of mine buys a lot of his TIffany's stuff this way. 99% of the time, these flaws cannot be seen.
I would go for it, but have too many glasses these days. Thanks for posting... | | | |

| Just ordered two packs. This is a great deal. I only wish they had some with the Vintage Champagne glass in the package. | | | |

| John had said I was the first one to call. It will be interesting to see how many calls they get. DdB, if you can ask them it would be interesting to know. As they quite probably all (or almost all) came from you posting about it here. John said it was kind of odd for them to ship since shipping of alcohol isn't allowed in GA. However this isn't alcohol so there is no law to circumvent. | | | |

| Skwid - I'm curious myself. I'll follow up with them to see how many VC orders were placed.
If anyone else orders, please report it here.
Who knows, maybe I can get them to do other offers for us in the future... | | | |

| I just got off the phone with them. It would appear that they have a good number of VC orders. I tolf them to check out the site and see where the buzz was coming from.

| Thanks DdB. I called them monday and they got my fax. They said that they will be getting them in in a few days.
I'm starting to regret getting only 2 sets. With about 100 glasses, I guess I don't need any more. | | | |

| They should have receive the goods around May 1st, based on my discussions with them. It seems like we should be getting them any day. I was kind of wondering myself. | | | |

| Sure. I purchased two sets of the glasses myself and I think GATC did too. | | | |
