​We very excited to share this “insiders” view of our partner The Sommelier Society of America. Earlier this week, FOX 5 New York aired a video with news anchor Bianca Peters, who is currently a student at SSA. The first 5 minutes or so focus on SSA, its history and its curriculum. The remainder of the segment gives some great recommendations for wines to consider for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Also, in our new STYLE publication, we interviewed The Sommelier Society of America’s Director of Operations Carrie Puchkoff.
For those who would like to learn more about this great institution (since 1954), this is a must read. Here’s the link:

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.

And the Nosing Glass is just one of many whiskey and cocktail glasses available in our assortment. So, whether you are a distillery, a whiskey-centric restaurant or just a fan of great American spirits of all types, we have a glass made just for you.

Approachability is also something that we consider when developing our wine glass collections.

Design. Performance. Durability. And, of course, cost. These are all ingredients that help us define our approachability in how we help those who enjoy using Stölzle wine glasses to bring out the very best in the wines that they enjoy. 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.

Utilizing our famous pulled-stem technology, Grand Epicurean’s overall design is classic is unpretentious in its look and feel, all while being durable enough for professional use. 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.
