Here at Stölzle, we love great regional wines. The great news, especially for eastern U.S. wine lovers, is that some America’s best regional wineries are located close by in Virginia.

With names that run from Barboursville Winery to Trump Vineyards you can explore and enjoy some of this country’s best, according to a recent article in Tasting Table. And, in addition to delicious wines you can also find great values among the varietals that span from albarino and viognier to cabernet franc and merlot.
​
There’s even a great sparkler from the estate of a certain President (not named Jefferson). According to the Tasting Table article “…a winery that Gayot reports has produced some of the highest-rating sparkling wines in the game.”

To discover the beauty of wines from Virginia is also a reminder to discover the difference a great wine glass can make to your wine-drinking experience. At Stölzle, we offer a wide variety of wine glass collections suitable to tastes – and budgets – of all types. One of our favorites and most versatile is our EXPERIENCE Collection. Created in cooperation with sommeliers, EXPERIENCE was originally designed to enhance the enjoyment of different Rieslings, the range has now been expanded to bring that same distinctiveness to both whites and reds of all types. Our EXPERIENCE is a perfect wine glass collection to bring out all the nuances of whichever varietal happens to be your favorite.

So, when looking for a great new wine region to try, why not consider planning a trip to Virginia? And when you’re planning to upgrade your wine drinking experience, you may also want to consider EXPERIENCE from Stölzle Lausitz.

At our factory in Germany, we make some of the finest, high-performance crystal stemware and barware available anywhere in the world. And we have been doing it since 1889, when the "Oberlausitzer Glaswerke J. Schweig und Co." manufactured hollow glass for the first time. The plant in Weißwasser lived through the eventful German history with different names. After the reunification of Germany, Dr. Cornelius Grupp, a sixth-generation family entrepreneur, runs the glassworks.

Recently we came across an article that speaks about chilling your red wines and the best way to drink them after they have been chilled. Being of an approachable mindset, that article resonated with us because, after all, at Stölzle Lausitz maximizing the enjoyment of our wine is always our top priority.

Maximizing the enjoyment when drinking chilled reds may have a lot to do the timing of when we drink our red wines after they have been chilled, according to the folks at tastingtable.com. But no matter if your timing is good or not, one thing is for sure when it comes to maximizing your wine tasting enjoyment – glassware matters. And, at Stölzle Lausitz, we have always got just the right glass for you.

Whether you favor a larger capacity red wine glass or a smaller-sized white wine glass, or perhaps even a single, all-purpose glass, we’ve always got the right glass for the occasion.

So when it comes to your reds – chilled, slightly cooled or at room temperature – we have the perfect glass for you.

Whether you spend $20 – or $200 – on a wine you should above all, enjoy it. We understand that our wine glass is a supporting character in your overall wine experience. Your wine is the real star. No pretention, simply enjoying.

And that’s why a wine glass collection like our Grand Epicurean is so popular, both with consumers and in the hospitality industry. It checks all the right boxes and is definitely approachable.

But, what we like best is that Grand Epicurean helps make your $20 bargain wine taste its very best. So even when that snooty friend who claims to be a wine “expert” shows up, you can feel comfortable the she will be impressed.

Looks great. Feels great. In the hand and on the lips.

Our Grand Epicurean helps deliver the best flavor profile possible, whether your wine is a moderately-priced hostess gift or an over-the-top collectible. That’s our Grand Epicurean wine glass collection.

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.

More smiles on more faces.
