What sources of reference are available to research the origin of a unique wine glass.?
June 18, 2013 By 1 Comment
I have a wine glass that has sparked my curiosity. I don't remember exactly where I collected it from, could have been a yardsale. It looks like the type that is used for red wine. The stem is a nude lady who is holding the bowl with her hands and her feet are seated at the foot of the glass. It is a very elegant design however, it does appear to have a seam that runs down both sides of the womans figure. The bowl and the foot have no seam and the hands and feet appear to be well crafted blending into the glass as if it was sculptured. I thought it was too fancy to be carnival glass. Are ther any suggestions of how I should type my search queary or possible sources of reference for an item like this. … [Read more...]

If I like pinot grigio, what type of red wine might I enjoy?
June 17, 2013 By 13 Comments
I've had a few Californian pinot grigios and really liked them. (I've also had shiraz - didn't like it so much.) I know whites and reds are two very different classes, and I'm not much of a wine connoisseur - actually, I'm just a beginner - but am wondering if there are any sort of lighter, fruitier reds, since I'd like to start venturing into red territory more often. … [Read more...]
