I am glad to hear someone agrees with me in something...

After today & tonight, I thought I was fighting against the entire world... well but it was politics, (or something related to it, so in reality it does not count). He, he, he....

We won't go into details, but Michelle knows what was about.

Anyway, in to better things. I guess I am in the minority as far as the glassware, so I should start investigating this Reidel, seems as though they are nice crystal...

On the other hand, and while I know I will be committing heresy, as far as the wine glass is concerned, I am more interested that it is crystal. However, it must be clear, a "globe" shape for reds, and a thinner, closer to a "flute" type, (not as accentuated as a Champagne flute), for the whites.

Imagine wine is an impressionist painting and the lesser "roccoco" is the frame, the better it is, as one can appreciate the painting in its color, intensity and character without the excessive distraction of such frame would represent.

Anyway.... I will look into it...

'79 Cabernet... hmm, green with envy.... (me, not the wine), but that's o.k., there is time and other wines too.

Enjoy those last two bottles, I noticed they are 1.5 litter... which means you either have a large family, drink the bottles with at least six or more people.... or drink a healthy amount of wine per sitting... either way I am sure you will enjoy it. So do it with gusto.

Later...
