Product Description
Riedel's newest introduction, the Sommeliers Black Tie series, marks the celebration of Claus Josef Riedel's unveiling of the first Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru glass in 1958. Riedel's varietal specific wine glass concept has changed the world of wine drinking around the globe, by highlighting the effect that size and shape have on the aroma and flavor perception of the wine. This special new Black Tie series incorporates the Sommeliers line's classic shapes into gorgeous mouth-blown stemware, all accented in black. This Riedel Black Tie Bordeaux Grand Cru glass features the same classic shape of its Sommelier series counterpart, perfectly capturing the nuances of the fine wine it was designed for. The bowl rests on a beautiful black stem, accented by a clear base, creating an elegant dressed up appeal, and is packed in a handsome single gift tube.

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 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 Bordeaux Grand Cru glass is essential to any wine connoisseur's collection and is designed to enhance the full, complex bouquets of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, red Bordeaux, and Brunello di Montalcino. The 30-ounce capacity gives breathing space to both young and mature wines and allows the subtle layers of the bouquet to unfold, while the rim directs the flow to the sweetness-sensitive front of the tongue. The glass is cleverly packaged in a sleek black and red gift tube. Because crystal is course and porous to best intensify flavors, Riedel recommends protecting it by hand washing. --Kara Karll
