Book Corner: A Sense of Place, A Journey Around Scotland's Whisky

1/22/2023

 
Picture
Who doesn’t love a great road trip?

“A Sense of Place, A journey around Scotland’s whisky” is a road trip. Falling in love with a road trip is easy when that road trip is to one of our favorite places and is painted with such vivid words, colors and overall emotions from author Dave Broom and photographer Christina Kernohan. A Sense of Place is the quintessential road trip that many of us would love to take, but may never be able to, or if we do, never be able record it such an illustrative fashion.
​
This is a book that’s more about the people and the places than it is about the product of Scotch Whisky. And, that’s why we fell in love with this book. If whisky is the reason then the people and places are the connection to this magical journey that Broom takes us on. So, for those looking for a treatise on the making whisky, filled with formulas, recipes, flavor profiles and the like – you may be disappointed. But for those looking to learn about the lives and the land behind the liquid, you’ve come to the right place.
​From Dufftown to Islay, with many stops in between, A Sense of Place gives that feeling of great friends that you haven’t met yet. Friends like Dennis McBain. Dennis was born in Dufftown, close to the distilleries there, and you learn that while officially retired, he never quite gets away from the world of whisky where he worked for 50 years.

Like many of his other family members, the distilleries were a way of life and in A Sense of Place, you get to eavesdrop in on the author’s conversations with Dennis and the others you will meet along the way, feeling as though you may be right there in the room with them.
Picture
While well-known for our wine glasses, the Stölzle brand also has a wide variety of whisky glasses to add to your book reading pleasures.
When you get to Islay, you are introduced to James Brown, whose everyday seems built around thoroughly enjoying a life well lived and having a special knack for seizing opportunities both personal and business. From lighthouse keeper to rugby player, from farmer to supplier to the distilleries, Brown seems like that person from our hometown we all may know who just keeps rolling on, doing a bit of whatever needs doing all along the way.
And, maybe that’s why we like A Sense of Place so much.

While reading A Sense of Place you will learn much about the world of Scottish whisky, but you will learn this through the stories and through the everyday lives of those whose entire years have been intertwined with the spirit and the industry. Honest and straightforward, often in their own words.

And, for us, it’s those human stories of everyday folks that Dave Broom is able to bring to us through his words and descriptions, that we enjoy so much. Combined with Kernohan’s images, A Sense of Place offers us an opportunity to escape to Scotland and to connect with the people and the places that make the whisky produced there so special.
Some readers may think it all is a bit romanticized, but if that’s ok because that’s how we prefer our journeys.
After all who doesn’t love a great road trip?
​
So, pour yourself a dram and get ready to meet a few new friends.
​Slàinte  mhath!
(Good health!)

Book Corner: Sharing The Spirit of Learning

1/11/2023

 
Picture
Like you probably, we are passionate about wine, spirits and beverages of all types. So, we love learning and often that learning and experiencing comes in the form of reading the thoughts of others who share their particular passion. But, beyond the beverages themselves, it is really the connection with others that often accompanies our enjoyment of these beverages that remains central to our passion.

So, in the coming weeks and months, we’ll occasionally be sharing our thoughts on what we are reading (or, perhaps re-reading) and enjoying. In the busy world that we all live in these days, there are few things more precious than a few quiet moments with a great book, accompanied by a great beverage. We hope you agree.
Picture
Good book. Good drink. Good evening.
We are currently reading and will start off with a terrific book by author Dave Broom “A Sense of Place” about his and photographer Christina Kernohan's journey through Scotland’s whisky regions. With such a great title, we could not think of a better beginning place for our new Book Corner. We’ll be giving you our thoughts on the chronology of the pair's magical tour shortly.

After all, how can you not fall in love with a book whose introduction starts “Scotch. Whisky. A drink named after the country of its birth.”

While our thoughts when finished will perhaps be more lay person than professional literary critic, all we can promise is that they will be honest, passionate and always from the heart.

It is our sincere hope that you may share a few of these thoughts and possibly they may help to inspire you to investigate these books on your own.
​
​We can hope that may be the case. Cheers!

The Red Wines of Winter

12/8/2022

 
Picture
​We love red wines the year round, but it is true that they seem to give us a special, warmer feeling during the colder months. We are not scientists or chemists, but drinking a luscious red wine during the cooler (ok, cold) winter months does seem to warm us from the inside out. That’s why when one our favorite reads, Food + Wine, published “14 Comforting Red Wines for the Coziest Time of the Year” we were all in!
But, along with the warmth and coziness brought about by that bold red, we love both the look and feel of it one of our larger bowl-sized glasses, like our STARlight Pinot/Burgundy, for instance.

STARlight has been a runaway hit since it first arrived a little over a year ago and it’s no wonder with its brilliance, balanced design and overall durability. But what we love most is the feel of STARlight in our hand and how the collection delivers the wine to our lips. Nothing short of fantastic. And, after all isn’t that the idea? STARlight delivers on all levels – the very practical, the physiological and the emotional.

If you are interested and want to take our STARlight Collection out for a good test drive, from now ‘til the end of the year, we have a promotion code to help you save on STARlight:

We love our STARlight Pinot/Burgundy for the oversized bowl that allows for great looks, lots of aeration and an overall great wine experience!

I really appreciate the effort that you went through, it did not go unnoticed! "
                                                                                                                             K.B., Michigan
                                                                                                                              Nov 2022
We're glad it all worked out and were happy to provide a small assist.

Affordable + Good = Approachable, Both in The Bourbons We Drink + Our Glassware

10/28/2022

 
Picture
“Affordable” and “Good” are two words that we like a lot when it comes to bourbon. So, when we came across this article on Uproxx “Affordable *And* Good Bourbon Whiskey, Blind Tasted And Ranked” by author Zach Johnston, we were all in. Nothing better than to find a new, under-appreciated bourbon that may have not yet have made it to our tasting radar screen. Likewise, its also good to know that there are others who may be aligned with their own high regard for some of our existing favorites.
​
And when it comes to finding a great glass to serve your bourbon in, we’ve got a few whiskey glasses that we think are very “approachable”, as well. And, like bourbons that are both “Affordable and Good” our whiskey glasses will perform all their stated duties more than admirably, while still leaving you with enough money to buy another bottle of your favorite bourbon.
Picture
Our 6.5 oz. Nosing Glass checks a lot of the boxes when it comes to finding a great whiskey glass without breaking the bank.
Picture
Our Nosing Glass makes a great holiday gift idea for your favorite whiskey lover.
One of those approachable whiskey glasses is our Nosing Glass. It’s tulip-shaped chimney is broad enough to let plenty of air mix in with your bourbon while still focusing all the intensity of the aromas directly to your nose. And, speaking of noses – the opening of our Nosing Glass is slightly larger than many other bourbon glasses, allowing noses of all sizes and shapes to enjoy the full flavor profile of the latest from Loretto.

And, who knows, the next time you’re passing through Loretto, you may just see a few of our very “approachable” Nosing Glasses being used.

Affordable + Good = Approachable for us. We think you may agree.
For more information on our Nosing Glass, please visit:
https://stolzle-glassware.myshopify.com/products/whiskey-liqueur-nosing-glass-6-oz
Use promo code NOSINGGLASS40 and save yourself a few bucks you can put towards buying more good bourbon. And, just maybe, you will want to get a few of our Nosing Glasses and conduct your own blind tasting. Or give them out to your friends... they make great gifts.

And, of course if you’d like to read author Zach Johnston’s article, here’s the link:
“Affordable *And* Good Bourbon Whiskey, Blind Tasted And Ranked”

​Cheers.
More smiles on more faces.
