Wine Wednesday & Wine Glass Review

Remember when I told you about a CSN Wine Glass Review that I was going to be doing? Well if not then go read it....I'll wait.

Well they came yesterday and they are absolutely beautiful! I just knew I had to do my Wine Wednesday using these glasses!



These wine glasses came as a set of two 11oz white iittala Essence Wine Glasses. The designer Alfredo Haberli utilized his background in the hotel and restaurant business to integrate an in-depth knowledge of wine with his own vision of wine appreciation in the creation of the Essence glasses; wine glasses that focus on the seductive power of wine.

Extra-tall glasses rise confidently out of equally sized flat-bottomed plates in a demonstration of thoughtful design. Together the glasses stand tall, and serenely balanced. Essence has found the essential meeting points of tradition and modernity, celebration and everyday use.

I tried a white wine that we got from our local Wine Styles wine club called Shoo Fly {I love that name - don't you}.



"Winemaker Notes - Crafted by leading Australian winemaker, Ben Riggs, the 2005 Buzz Cut exhibits aromas of tropical fruit, apricot, and grapefruit. Juicy, tropical Verdelho and exotically perfumed Viognier combine with dashes of Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling to provide a refreshing, succulent wine. Drink now or hide in the cellar for 3 years."


This wine was very light and very tasty. It was crisp and fruity all which I really like in a wine and for a little under $10 it was a great buy.


Ok so here's the deal if you would like to own a set of these glasses you can! All you have to do is:
