Wine Glass Give-Away! Win a trip to Napa!
The OneTM: Wine Glasses for the Sensible Wine Lover These are practical, sensible glasses; one for red and another for white. They’re dishwasher safe. And they don’t require investment in several sets of six different lead-crystal glasses to “show” the wine’s nose, the taste on the palate, the wine’s mouthfeel and finish. AWB on The OneTM: Appearances Can be Deceiving! At first glance these glasses look a little off. The OneTM for red wine looks too small, and both have more sharp angles than most wine glasses. Those angles make it appear that the opening is too small to really get your nose into the bowl. The old saying about looks being deceiving is definitely applicable to these glasses. It turns out that you can, in fact, get your nose into the bowl of the glass. And those angular sides really help keep the aromas in the glass. The thin rim feels like a crystal glass, but these are dishwasher safe. They come out sparkling and we have not had to polish one yet. We’ve just begun using them, but they are already becoming favorites. Andrea Immer Robinson on The OneTM
Back when we started our quest to learn more about wine, we watched videos and television programs hosted by Andrea Immer, one of the leading wine educators in the beverage industry. She is one of only 16 women who have achieved the status of Master Sommelier by the Court of Master Sommeliers, and the first woman ever chosen Best Sommelier in the United States by the Sommelier Society of America. Her book, Great Wine Made Simple, in one of the first in our library, and was a James Beard Award nominee. Her website, Andrea Wine, hosts a wealth of information, and gives readers an opportunity to rate wines like the pros! Win a Trip to Napa In celebration of the launch of the One at Macy’s stores everywhere, Andrea Robinson is running a contest for a Chance to Wine a Wine Weekend for Two in Napa Valley. The none-too-shabby prize includes: * Round-trip airfare To enter the contest, sponsored by Delta Airlines, Macy’s and Auberge Resorts, entrants need only to connect with Andrea on Facebook or Twitter.
