Artisan Vineyard Notes
Characteristics: Wil just brought a glass of this to my desk. Its arrived only today so no chance to rest but its showing no worse for the wear. Wil and I both fell in love with Zweigelt and Zweigelt rosé during our visits to Hungary. Hofer is, of course, Austrian.
The wine is a very pretty pink, very light, very brilliant. The nose is mostly a simple vinous character right now but a bit of rest will resolve that… there are promises of roses and peaches. Off-dry which Wil and I agree is best for Zweigelt as a rose. The flavours are delicate as well leaving a resonating papaya and strawberry to heave and swell (obviously I’m a frustrated romance novel writer) upon the waves of lively minerals and acidity. A real charmer! - Wine Review by LAC. June 2, 2010
Food Pairings: Cold chicken, salads especially tuna or niccoisse.

Riedel 'O' Sauvignon blanc/Zinfandel/Sangiovese 2 packs
Description: Riedel "O" is the new take on the wine tumbler. The tumbler, used for centuries as an all-round drinking vessel, is now turned into a sophisticated wine accessory. In short: "O" is the ideal glass for every day use and for every occasion. Without stems to knock into or over, the "O" is pet-proof and kid-friendly, meaning fewer glasses to replace down the line.
The designs of "O" are based on the benchmark shapes of Riedel Vinum. For the first time in glass history the design parameters such as shape of tumbler, size and diameter of rim, have been finely-tuned to enhance the world's most important grape varietals. The price range for the non lead machine-blown glass series is half the price of Riedel Vinum glasses.
It fits in every dishwasher, picnic basket, minibar or small kitchen. Broken stems are a thing of the past.
