Wine: Ravenswood Old Vine Zinfandel, Pier 1 Stemless Glasses
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008Ravenswood Sonoma County Old Vine Zinfandel
This wine is refreshing and easy-drinking, but without the bombastic jam and bright berries you might expect from younger zinfandel vines. The old vines’ pepper and
tannins give this wine a playful, palatable core with surprising depth, like the soundtrack to a Wes Anderson movie.
At $15 a bottle, this is a great bottle to stock up on for summer barbeques.
Pier 1: Stemless Wine Glasses
Pier 1 is offering stemless wine glasses for $2. These glasses feel large and solid in the hand, unlike the ultra-thin (and ultra-breakable) Riedel versions. Without the fragile stems, these are the right choice for lively dinner parties. The quality of these glasses far exceeds the price.
