Friday, November 15th Riedel Glassware Sensory Evaluation
Shape matters! Well, if we are talking about wine glasses it certainly does….
Have you ever wondered why we swap glasses when you change wines at our wine bar? Come experience why when we host Riedel Crystal of America for our second Riedel Glassware Tasting Event, November 15th at 6pm. A unique and fascinating wine glass tasting demonstrating the relationship between the shape of a glass and our perception and enjoyment of wine. This is an incredible, interactive event that is not to be missed.
The Riedel company has been making fine glassware in Austria for over 265 years, and the Riedel family continues their innovations with the 11th generation at the helm.
Crystal of America’s Riedel Expert, Nicholas Pirovolos, will lead us through this eye-opening sensory experience. It will surely change your perspective on the glassware you choose for your enjoyment of fine wines. The best part? You get to take your new Riedel glassware set home! We have a set on display at the shop, so swing in and check them out, they are sexy glasses! And if you are interested in an additional set (or more) for your home collection you may order additional sets HERE or by emailing us at cheers@tacomawinemerchants.com for the discounted price of $95 (MSRP is $178 for the set).
