We're glad that you asked. A glass tasting is fun and informative.
You gather with other wine fans to learn that the shape of the glass really does make a difference.
The typical tasting features the Riedel Tasting Set. This set includes one each of the Vinum Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Burgundy and Bordeaux glasses.
What happens now?
We will sit down and learn why the glasses were produced in varying shapes and then, here is where it gets exciting, we will taste four wines in each of the glasses.
Can we add additional glasses to the tasting?
Absolutely! We recommend starting with the Cuvee Prestige flute and a bit of sparkling wine as guests arrive.
You may also want to change the line up with glasses other than those in the Vinum set.
Will food be served?
During the tasting, we will serve baguettes. We keep it simple so that the food
does not interfere with the appreciation of the wines.
After the tasting, we will serve an array of appetizers and desserts.
When the evening ends, what happens to the glasses?
You get to take the Vinum set of four home with you!
Can we purchase additional sets or other Riedel items?
Now you knew we'd hoped that you would ask this question! Of course you can.
We will bring a few additional items with us for sale that evening. We can also take orders that evening for deleivery.
You can also pre-order items to be picked up at the tasting.
Most items will be ready for delivery within one weeks of the tasting. Specialty items may take up to six weeks.
How many guests can we invite?
We can put on tastings for groups of ten to 125.
Okay, give me the bottom line. How much will this cost
Pricing for the event depends upon a couple of factors:
Very easy. Just email us with the date(s) you are interested in and the number of guests you anticipate. We will then work on the details with you.
How can we pay for this?
We accept payment by check, money order or credit cards via Pay Pal.
