Louis de Grenelle Saumur Ros\u00e9<\/a> is one of our favorite sparkling wines. This month, our thoughts are also about wine glasses, the people who design them, sell them, and the places that offer a good glass for our wine enjoyment.<\/p>\n

Louis de Grenelle Saumur Ros\u00e9 would look great in any wine glass. It's 100% Cabernet Franc and has a lovely pink color from the skins. It is a great value wine, and we always want to enjoy it in a traditional red wine glass, not a tulip. We appreciate places that ask if we wish to have sparkling wine in a tulip or a regular wine glass. We adore the places and waitstaff who remember that as our preference.<\/p>\n

If a bar or restaurant has terrible wine glasses, we probably won't return unless it is a situation like the one we had a few years ago at Meyer+Chang.<\/a> They had a sparkling wine glass that looked a bit like a small, weighted bottom pilsner glass. We immediately saw that it was the perfect glass for wine on our windy roof deck. We asked our server where they had found them, and he informed us that this glass was purchased for an outdoor party. We asked if we could buy a few. He inquired and added the cost of them to our bill. We use those outdoors all the time.<\/p>\n

In our early days of learning about wine, we followed every trend and recommendation. When Riedel wine glasses<\/a> arrived on the scene, we replaced our more pedestrian glasses with a set for every wine and extras of the glasses they now call Wine\/Champagne Glass\/Spritz Drinks.<\/a><\/p>\n

This week we ordered a storage case for our Riedel stemware and will put it away for a very special bottle or to give to someone who is just discovering a love for wine. Our wine rack currently has a few glasses we use day-to-day from MadeIn.<\/a><\/p>\n

Trying wines from different places, made with different grapes, and produced by different methods adds spice to our monthly ritual. Since 2007, we have raised a glass of sparkling wine to greet each new month!<\/p>\n

If you like to try a wine before you buy, we recommend stopping into Cornwall's Tavern<\/a> in Kenmore Square to order a glass of Louis de Grenelle Saumur Ros\u00e9. They have had this selection on their menu for years.<\/p>\n
