Give a special-occasion vintage the presentation it deserves or transform everyday wine drinking into a luxurious event with Riedel's Sommeliers Black Tie stemware collection. A stylish variation of Riedel's 1958 World Exhibition Grand Prix award-winning design, Black Tie offers the original varietal-specific shapes precisely handcrafted of brilliant 24-percent lead crystal and adds a dressy finish: a tall black stem on the red wine glasses and a coordinating black base on their white wine mates. This Burgundy Grand Cru glass was described by Decanter magazine as The finest Burgundy glass of all time, suitable for both young and old Burgundies inch and is designed for Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo, Beaujolais Cru, and red Burgundy. With a 37-ounce capacity, the large bowl allows the bouquet to develop, then narrows to a flared rim for controlled delivery that perfectly balances the acidity and fruit flavors. The glass is also on permanent display in the New York Museum of Modern Art, so it holds an important a place in history as well as in the home. Because crystal is course and porous to best intensify flavors, Riedel recommends protecting it by hand washing.
