The Wine Salon
Program Highlight: Does the Glass Make a Difference? The Riedel Challenge
Join Maximilian Riedel September 17 at the handsome Hotel Indigo for a wine tasting for design aficionados. The theory behind Riedel crystal—from the shape of the bowl to the design of the rim—is that the glass affects the aroma, taste and harmony of a wine on its journey from glass to palate. Does it? You be the judge. Participate in this special Wine Salon and take home your Riedel Vinum XL tasting set (a $124 value) and mingle with Mr. Riedel in a private reception following the presentation. $75
