thanks so much. I am familiar with Al’s – too familiar. Don’t know if it is appropriate for this board, but where on island can i find good stemware – like Riedel or Spiegelau. I don’t want to take...

ones to fill out my 24) and Riedel Vinum (a bit larger that the V&Bs and slightly thicker glass). I’m surprised that Crate & Barrel did not have what you were looking for, as they have several lines of less expensive wine...

a stemmed glass if you’re not fond of Riedel O-Ware.) SmallCap

the wine (and we) would benefit from decanting. I’m in NYC and am looking at the Sherry Lehmann catalog and they have several. A “Canard” Crystal Duck Decanter which looks really nice and a Riedel decanter....

I bought a couple of Spiegelau (sort of Riedel knockoffs) at Trader Joes for about $7.

Spezia is ok, had a decent meal, not out of this world. Inquirer gave it two bells, seems fair. Desserts were uninspired. The Riedel glass thing is a bit hokey but it’s a decent place. Worth a try, check out the menu...

use them for shots. The ideal glass to drink tequila is the official tequila glass made by Riedel, this you will also find in USA with stores that have Riedel. This glass will give you better characteristics in the tequilas you...

About 6 months ago I went to K&L in SF intent on picking up more Riedel Bordeaux glasses, which have been my standard oversized glass for years, and which are a bit expensive and fragile for everyday use (for us anyway). While I...

The Riedels are likely Ouverture series. My folks have picked them up in the past at Winners. They are excellent everyday wine glasses with all the balance of the higher grades (but no lead...).

wine glasses that could be used for parties? Is Spiegelau even being made anymore since being purchased by Riedel? Ideas, websites, etc. Thanks, all.

Hi everyone, For our post-wedding morning my bride and I would like to have a brunch with everyone because they’re all out-of-country/town. Is there any nice brunch buffet that’s open on Saturdays in the bay area? We...

Is your question about any type of crystal, or a specific producer? This topic tends to come up with respect to Riedel stemware, and whther or not the investment is worth it—particularly in the different designs of stems...

Boy, that’s a tough one! Many years ago, only the Baccarat glasses would get stained, but Riedels and "Smart & Final"s used to come out of the washer OK. Then, it was the Riedels that failed. Lately, I’m afraid even...

portions seem to have been shrinking every time. I’ve been taking care of my grilled meat fix at Riedel's in the interim – I’d tell you where that is, but last time I tried to say something positive about Riedel...

I love my Riedel Os, though I only have them now for viognier/chardonnay. I had a different set and broke them. They are much easier to deal with at the table than stemware for sure. And they look good!
