Stemware, Wine Glasses
Romantic moment by the fireplace with wine glass in hand!

In our 28 years of experience with wine, we have learned that the key factors in the  enjoyment of wine are: (1) The wine, of course; (2) the company with whom we enjoy socializing and drinking the wine with; (3) the wine glass we use, and (4) our environment at the time.  Why is the wine glass (also called stemware) so important?  Beautiful stemware adds grace and elegance to your celebrations of life.  A good wine can be appreciated for its look, smell, taste and bouquet.  Bouquet is the characteristic aroma or fragrance of a wine or liqueur.  In early research, it was recognized that the taste, balance and finish of wines are affected by the shape of the glass used.  By having the right glass and using our senses of sight, touch, smell and taste, we can enhance our realization of the enjoyable aspects of wine.  The terms balance and finish are often used in wine tasting circles, but seldom defined.  In case you are not certain of the meanings of these important wine-related terms, we have provided definitions below.

Balance:  Indicates the proportion between these four components: alcohol, acidity, sweetness and dryness. A wine is well-balanced when none of those characteristics dominates.  For some wines, balance may only be realized after some aging.

Finish:  A wine-taster's synonym for "aftertaste,” which is the flavor impressions left in the mouth after swallowing wine.  Fine wines will have a long, lingering finish.

By having the right glass and using our senses, we can better realize the intensity of aromas, fruitiness and tannins for different wines. The most gratifying goal may be to achieve balance in bringing out the distinct characteristics of each style of wine.  Now, the wine lover is able to select the right wine glass to enhance the experiences and pleasures of enjoying wine.  Stimulate Your Senses With the Most Ideal Wine Glass!  When it comes to using the right stemware for a particular type of wine, we should not ignore the importance of that choice.  Absolutely, the right glass brings out all the right features in the right wine!
