Exactly! I just bought a 6 pack to go with my sample glass, and I look forward to sharing them with friends.

The glass makes a HUGE difference! In my gazillion years of wine biz experience, I've had the chance to work with Riedel, Eisch, Ravenscroft and others. I was very involved at the beginning of the Breathable Glass project and did a lot of comparisons. The glasses work well and I have some that are my every day glasses. They're heavier than Riedel, but that's not a bad thing since they don't break as easily. Check them out!

oh dear! What WAS I wearing? I think I was probably in my pj's, after a long tough day at work. Mind you they weren't as sexy as a sports bra. Just an old t-shirt.

Umm.. you neglected to tell us what you were wearing when you conducted this glass comparison. Cool kid clothes perhaps?

i was just kidding about the mason jars. why dirty up a perfect moonshine glass when you can drink the wine straight from the bottle

seriously (which is tough for me), i've heard that crystal is rougher at a microscopic level and breaks up the wine more so that more oxygen can permeate…wonder if the "breatheable" technology is similar, or something new and exciting.

Awesome write-up Bratty. I'm glad you enjoyed the Eisch glass. Maybe Santa will bring you some more.

Joe, if you're still drinking wine out of mason jars, we need to talk

Yes – indeed it was a great wine. Just wait til you see my opinion of it's sibling, Brothers Ridge! They are doing great things up in Alexander Valley to be sure.

And now, i need a glass of wine.
