Riedel Vinum Extreme Chardonnay Glasses, Set of 2 Reviews

A perfect addition to your Riedel collection, these Riedel Vinum Extreme Chardonnay glasses are designed specifically for wines such as Chardonnay, White Burgundy, Montrachet and Meursault. The Extreme line, most known for their larger, more dramatic diamond shaped bowls, provide an even larger surface area, exposing the wine to more oxygen and allowing it to fully open up, resulting in heightened performance, and further enhanced drinking experience for those using them. The Riedel Vinum Extreme collection was designed in response to the continued improvement in the quality of wines being produced today. As wines have become more dense, concentrated and perfected, so has the call for new glass shapes. The Extreme line is machine-made of 24% lead crystal.
Renowned European glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most fully enhance the appreciation of the wine within. To meet the demand of today's increasingly more concentrated wines, Riedel developed the Vinum Extreme line, which features a pronounced diamond shaped bowl. Unusually broad for a white wine glass, standing 9-1/8 inches tall and holding 27-1/2 ounces at full capacity, each Vinum Extreme glass in this set of two is designed specifically for the enjoyment of Chardonnay. At the same time, the modern diamond shape looks distinctly snazzier than typical wine stems.

Though Vinum Extreme glasses are machine-made to be affordable, the glasses consist of 24 percent lead crystal for exceptional clarity and brilliance. The Chardonnay glasses make a handsome gift or add to an existing collection. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum Extreme crystal is best washed by hand to prevent the detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri

"Great glasses!"
By The_Style_Guy (Olympia WA)
I was in a tasting room in the Russian River Valley when I first got to use these glasses -- it was love at first sight. I already have the full line of Riedel Sommelier glasses, but these are a little less pretentious and a lot more fun for a casual occasion.

Does anyone know of a good cookware set that will NOT fuse to glass stovetops for under $130?

I'm looking to get my parents a new cookware set, but they have a glass top stove..And I noticed with the paula dean cookware it says that the pans can fuse to the glass top and that the company will not be held responsible if this happens...Does anyone know of a good brand that is around $130 or less that will not fuse to the stove top?

Thanks!

Hiya Kimi Ok I have a ceramic (glass) cooktop. My pots of preference are the Farberware or Cuisineart in that price range. They last forever and look great and offer a quick heat on the glass surface. Also I looked up these pots and there is no ceramic cook top disclaimer that I can see but I am not discounting this. Altho rubber handles is not something I am fond of. AND you can not put them in the dishwasher !! Bummer

Ok I found this -

"These pots are suitable for solid plate, glass/ceramic, radiant ring, halogen and gas stoves. The thing I did learn was not to put a hot pan/pot on a cold glass burner. I have been doing it for years and I never had a problem but after reading that they can become fused to the burner I will stop doing that. The non-stick surface they use in these pots/pans is called Polytetrafluoroethylene which is another fancy name for "teflon". My only concern is that they say on their instructions that decorative pan bottoms may not conduct heat evenly on glass/ceramic stovetop's. I find this strange since the bottoms are decorative and they indicated that they can be used on Ceramic stoves."

Do not get copper bottoms.
Reserve Teflon to 1 fryer.
