Wine reviews and more…
The Sommeliers is now the wine glass benchmark and the most successful series of hand-made glasses in the world. Each glass is meticulously hand-crafted to showcase the best characteristic of a specific wine, allowing you to truly experience the wine’s bouquet, taste, balance and finish.
The Sommeliers Bordeaux Grand Cru gives breathing space to both young and more mature wines, unpacking the various layers of bouquet and delivering a full spectrum of aromas. On the palate, the texture of the wine – soft, silky, velvety – is intensified and the finish prolonged, gently blending acidity with supple, sweet tannins. This is a glass that showcases these majestically structured red wines in all their complexity and finesse.
The Sommeliers Bordeaux glass has a generous bowl that is ideally suited for the appreciation of full bodied red wines such as Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja and Cabernet Franc.
Each glass stands 10 5/8″ high, holds 30 3/8 oz and is sold individually.
The bottle pictured in the background is for size representation only. Wine sold separately and encouraged for best enjoyment of glassware.

If you can afford to splurge on a Riedel Sommelier series glass you will never regret it. You simply can’t believe how much difference a great glass can make, even on “everyday” wines. IMHO, the Zinfandel Sommelier glass is a good all around shape for the price; the Bordeaux and Burgundy ballon are bigger and therefore better because they have more internal surface area, but they cost more and there super-size makes them somewhat impractical.
Because the crystal is delicate and thin, these clearly are not for the dishwasher and must be handwashed. Be aware also that the Sommelier stems separate from the bowl rather easily if you twist the stem while drying the glass with a towel, which is quite a natural movement. But aside from that issue,which applies to many brands of hand blown crystal these are very special in every way.
