We’re always looking for new adventures when it comes to wine regions and based upon an online story about the Texas Hill Country wine region, we’ve added the Lone Star State as to our list of “must-trys”.
​
According to author Kevin Gray in his recent Inside Hook story, “….most of the region’s grape varietals today hail from France, Italy and Spain, with popular wines including Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre and Viognier.” Add to that a growing list of wineries, some great food and an outstanding music scene – we are ready to head out on a new wine adventure.

If you’re ready to add to your wine adventures, you might want to take a look at our newest collection of wine glassware collection that we call STARlight.

 STARlight offers a new dimension: machine glass that blurs the line to mouth-blown glass. The gracefully slender stem and the delicately thin-walled goblet were previously reserved for glasses made by hand. STARlight, born at the intersection of balance and functionality feels good in the hand and even better to enjoy wine from. Our many years of experience went into every aspect of creating our new STARlight Collection.

The result: The stem has a diameter that is about ten percent smaller than that of conventional machine-made glasses and the goblet also has a noticeably thinner wall thickness. In this way the STARlight series combines lightness with extraordinary elegance. We love STARlight because it makes even "average" wines taste way better than they should.

All this adds up to an improved wine-drinking experience all the way around. So, the next time you’re looking to expand your wine horizons and don’t quite have time to head down Texas way, find your way to our new STARlight Collection of wine glasses. We think you will be glad you did.

Quality matters when it comes to beer. So, when we saw an online article on the “Eat This, Not That” website titled “9 Beers That Use the Highest Quality Ingredients” we were interested. Some great beers are listed. Some we have tried and others were new to us.
​
But the article reminded us that quality in the beer glass you use matters also. That’s why we use the very best ingredients to manufacture our beer glasses and why we make so many different types of beer glasses. We believe that great beers deserve a great glass to help bring out the best flavor profile possible of all those top-quality ingredients.

Our foodservice distribution partner carries a wide selection for bars, restaurants and breweries. Quality ingredients in your beer, for sure. But quality in your glassware, as well.

Recently, we came across an online article “Yes, There Is a Right Way to Hold a Wine Glass”. Rather than get caught up in a “right way” versus a “wrong way” glass-holding discussion, let us first say that we are simply happy to know that you are enjoying your wine.

Now, of course, we realize that there are high-end wine snobs who may look askance at us when we might place our hands around the bowl instead of the stem. But unless the wines you are drinking are so special and so delicate that the few degrees difference (if even that amount) from warmth of your hand may bring to the wine will dramatically alter its taste, we will continue to let others focus on how to hold the glass. That may happen, but its not what we spend our time or our energies worrying about.

So, what does matter to us when it comes to your wine glass?
Helping each wine, no matter the price point, no matter the wine type, achieve its stated tasteful purpose for you and your guests has always been our main goal at Stölzle.

​So, go ahead and hold your glass however you like. But, always enjoy the wine.

After all, for more than 130 years now, we have always put our attention towards making sure our glasses perform to their peak and deliver the proper flavor profile that you and your guests are looking for. Maximizing the enjoyment and the experience is what it's all about.

More smile on more faces.

And, just in case you are wondering if you are holding your wine glass correctly, here’s a link to the article:
https://news.yahoo.com/yes-way-hold-wine-glass-162412232.html

The world of rum is a wide-ranging and fascinating story with such a diversity of flavor profiles there must be a rum for nearly everyone’s tastes. From Puerto Rico to Jamaica, from Venezuela to Demera in Guyana, rums are geographically – and especially, flavor-wise very diverse. Rums are also produced around the globe in other sugar-producing regions such as The Philippines and Taiwan.

In fact, rum’s greatest strength is perhaps its versatility, and diversity, with product types that range from white rum and black rum to dark rum, proof+ rum, along with spiced and flavored rums. There’s even rhum agricole. Each rum type and flavor unique to itself with curious millennials leading the way in exploring each flavor and nuance.

​So, the next time you are suggesting a premium rum to your guest, make sure you #respectyourrum and serve it up properly in our 7 oz. Rum Tasting Glass. Your guests will notice the difference.

Nothing beats a crisp, refreshing white wine, especially as the temperatures climb as the seasons change. But – just being honest – our heart belongs to reds. And reds of all types. And we realize that many out there feel exactly the same way about their whites. We get it.
​
That’s why the recent article by the online site Drizly caught our attention: 5 Red Wines for White Wine Drinkers. In case you’re not familiar with Drizly, besides being a favorite of ours, they are the largest online marketplace for alcohol in North America. On the Drizly website it states that their “purpose is to be there when it matters – committed to life's moments and the people who create them. We partner with thousands of retailers in more than 1,400 cities to empower them to grow their businesses and make our customers' good times better. Drizly is available to 100M+ customers and counting across the U.S. and Canada.”

Back to the topic at-hand, “red wines for white wine drinkers” our thoughts are “Why should someone have to choose? Why not enjoy both?
