 (from left to right) Our own Jay Allie, with Executive Chef Ron Rupert, Master Sommelier George Milotes and President John Marino from RAK USA, our hospitality distribution partner.
Here’s what the DisneyFoodBlog.com has to say about this Master Sommelier-run restaurant: “Wine Bar George is the only Master Sommelier-owned wine bar in the state of Florida. The “George” in Wine Bar George is Master Sommelier George Miliotes. Miliotes was previously best known in the Disney culinary scene as a member of the opening team of the Contemporary Resort’s signature restaurant, California Grill. The inviting 210-seat wine bar offers more than 130 choices by the ounce, bottle, and glass. A menu of small plates and shareable entrees — created in partnership with Executive Chef Ron Rupert — complements the wine selection with terrific food. And the Wine Country Brunch is an option for guests on Saturdays and Sundays. Wine Bar George never fails to impress, and provides a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere to wine novices and connoisseurs alike.”  Great wine and great food, served by some of the nicest people you will meet while on your vacation. All served a casual and straightforward manner. And, we are very proud to say that the team at Wine Bar George are long-time, loyal fans of Stölzle glassware.
So, the next time you are headed down Orlando way – whether you’re on vacation or simply looking for an enjoying meal, put Wine Bar George in Disney Springs at the top of your list.

Last week, the UK-based newspaper The Guardian ran an article by wine expert Fiona Beckett on how to improve your chances of doing that with one of our favorite varietals, pinot noir. And now, even if the specific wines mentioned in the newspaper story are not available where you shop, another thought might be is to look for other pinot noirs or burgundies from these same regions that might be of good value. Hopefully, you’ll find success.

The special feature of this series is the fineness of the glass. Nevertheless, they are extremely resistant to breakage.

A few months back, the website The Manual, posted an article titled "How To Drink Whisky: A Beginner's Guide". Now, we appreciate the idea that The Manual and the articles author - J. Fergus - are trying to educate and make whiskey more understandable and approachable to novice drinkers. The article is filled with informative sections like "What Is Whiskey", "Enjoying Whiskey Neat or with Water" and Whiskey Cocktails. But, we would offer up an alternative 3-step educational "keep it simple" practice that would start with:  Our Nosing Glass is perfectly designed to bring out all the subtle nuances of your favorite whiskey. Step 1: Selecting the perfect whiskey glass to begin your journey into beverage excellence. That's where we can help. With our wide range starting with the world's most popular Glencairn Glass (The Modern even used a silhouette of this best seller in its article), our own Nosing Glass (above) and a wide assortment of Tumblers, Stölzle has just the right glass whether you are starting out "neat" or with a little water or ice. Step 2: Select the right whiskey that fits in both your palate - and your pocketbook. For the palate part, ask your local friendly professional bartender - that's why they are the pros - for their recommendation. After all, they know you best, right? For the pocketbook part, don't overspend. Overspending in the beginning can be easy to do. Don't fall prey, as you can always upgrade your spending later. For now, keep it simple. Step 3: Relax and enjoy. Both by yourself and with friends. However you enjoy your whiskey. Remember not to overthink the process and definitely don't drink to impress anyone but yourself and your own personal tastes. Here's a link to the article from The Modern: https://www.themanual.com/food-and-drink/how-to-drink-whiskey/www.themanual.com/food-and-drink/how-to-drink-whiskey/ Remember. Simple and straightforward. That's what we like. More smile on more faces. #BornInFire #StoelzleForLife  
So, the next time you are looking for a little magic, serve yourself and someone you love a little (or a lot) of Veuve Clicquot’s Le Grande Dame in a couple of our Quatrophil flutes and watch the magic begin.

However, a great starting point is choosing the right #whiskyglass. A good choice there would be to choose the world’s favorite glass for those who know whiskies of all types - The Glencairn Glass. This is the glass designed and owned by our friends at Glencairn Crystal that was created to help us enjoy all the character and all the subtle nuances of our favorite tipple.
And while there may be plenty to learn about the many great distilleries from Scotland when you are beginning, we’ve found a great article from Distiller.com to steer you in the right direction. Here’s a link to their article on great "beginner" Scotch whiskies to start your education with: https://distiller.com/articles/our-favorite-beginner-scotch-whisky-picks Meanwhile, while you may worry about the choosing the right whisky, you should never worry about the glass you drink it from. Choose wisely. Choose Glencairn. Both you - and your guests - will be glad you did. More smiles on more faces. #BornInFire #StoelzleForLife 
 There are a great many whiskies that come from, literally, all corners of the globe. But, when you hear the term “single malt whisky” the first thought is of Scotland as the origin. However, the Whisky Advocate magazine just published a terrific story on the growing emergence of American Single Malt Whiskeys. In their story, writer Ted Simmons offers up several examples what’s available and how different American single malt whiskeys can be.
Here’s a link to the story: https://www.whiskyadvocate.com/7-distinctive-american-single-malt-whiskeys-to-try-now/ The good news is that no matter what part of the world you choose your whisky from, we have a variety of #bestinclass whisky glasses to drink it from. Starting with the world’s favorite whisky glass The Glencairn Glass and our own Nosing Glass, the possibilities to make your customers smile are endless. Cheers!
