You should hear his reaction when I mentioned the tasting glass we use at the Wine of the Month Club!

Riedel, The Wine Glass Company, is synergistic with fine wine and the proper glassware to enhance the experience. Wine is experiential and the glass matters. Listen to the passion of Maximilian Riedel, 11th generation glass maker and CEO of Riedel Glassware.

The glass matters, and he will tell you why. It is fairly obvious to sense that drinking a fine wine from a plastic amber tumbler in a diner can't match the experience of tasting a wine in fine Austrian crystal in a fine restaurant. It seems as though there would be two different wines when tasting side by side. Hear why this is and get it from the man himself.

Riedel was founded in 1756, 11 generations ago, to create fine glassware. Today, Riedel is the leading authority on varietal specific glassware. The story is fascinating.
