OWS#5 features an interview with Mark Baulderstone who is Vice President of Riedel Glass for Asia Pacific and Middle East. Listen in for an in depth tasting of the same wine from three different glasses. I must say i went in hoping to get scientific answers but was so blown away

by the different experience each glass presented that i ended up sitting back and going along for the ride. So sit yourself down, grab some glasses resembling those pictured below, pop a nice bot and taste along to see for yourself.
With over 150 different wine glasses in their range, you might be surprised to hear Mark say that you can cover most variety bases with just 3 or 4 glasses. This was very comforting to me (as well as my bank balance) but it’s still nice to know that you can go the extra mile if so desired.
We used three glasses from Riedel’s Vinum Series which would cover most varietal needs on a day to day basis, they were the Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon (Bordeaux) and Burgundy glasses.
The wines are both from Kim Crawford Wines of New Zealand;
2005 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
2002 Hawke’s Bay Merlot
That’s it for this episode.
All the best
Hugo & Mick
