Oh yeah, new stemware coming in! Just picked up a 4 pack of the Bottega Super Venetian from www.Primovino.net and couldn’t be happier with them… While I’ll normally grab a Riedel Vinum burg glass for most southern Rhones (I have no problem gulping them down out of Bordeaux, Tempranillo (love this glass!) or even a nice rocks glass if the mood is right), I’ve always pined over these BV glasses when hanging out with Rico or Brad V and felt like quite the mooch when asking to borrow one... Well those days are over and now I just need to find a way to keep from breaking em… unlike the Vinums, I don’t think these would survive the dishwasher.  If you get a chance, these really are fantastic glasses for grenache based wines!

If anyone knows of a good stemware case, please let me know!

Thanks!

Jeb
