RIEDEL WINE & GLASS GUIDE

If you have ever agonized over the type of glass to use for a particular varietal check out the Riedel Wine and Glass Guide.  They have made an art of pairing  wines to their best suited glass.  90% of your experience with wine is inhaling the aromatics and that is what a properly shaped  glass will help you do, as you swirl the wine in the glass it is volatolized and then concentrated in the mouth of the glass for you to inhale.  This is especially important with Pinot Noir.
