Thoughts on Fancy Wine Glasses

These beautiful glasses have reminded me of the importance of beauty for beauty’s sake.

Like a flower. A rainbow. Or a piece of art. Beauty is an important aspect of living and I think one that too often is cast aside as unnecessary. Maybe because it is too often attributed only to the physical appearance of humans. Arguably the most unjust application of beauty.

Pour me a beautiful Chardonnay in one of these glasses, and I am suddenly like a child, enamored with some newly discovered and perfectly delightful thing.

I think they might be priceless. Cheers friends.

Albariño, Oysters, and Aspargus!

Asparagus! With wine? Yes! I have found the perfect pairing for asparagus and it is Albarino.

Saturday, August 1, 2026 was #AlbarinoDay and since I had 3 bottles in the wine fridge, and a Coravin, I decided a celebration of this official wine holiday was in order.
