Review of Riedel Vitis Tasting Set, Gift Boxed

The Vitis series is the most modern looking of Riedel's varietal-specific, shaped wine glasses.Depending on your taste, this can be good or bad.They are certainly elegant and stylish, but they are also huge.If you're only used to "normal" store-bought (or wedding-gifted) glasses, these will likely surprise you coming out of the box.Once you get used to them, those other glasses will seem insignificant.Looks aside, the big question is: do they affect the taste?If you're a wine connoisseur, you'll likely notice some difference.If not, well, you probably won't.However, you still can impress your friends with the great looks, but to actually use them with those friends, you'll need to buy more than one of these boxes.Keep in mind that the set comes with only one of each glass, so to even share with your significant other, you'll have to pony up for a second box (of glasses; not wine!).If you are one of those wine connoisseurs, you'll want to keep in mind that Riedel offers only six styles of the Vitis series for wines (three reds, two whites, and champagne), plus one for martinis.Their other series have many more to choose from.

A perfect sampling of one of Riedel's latest lines, this Riedel Vitis four-piece tasting set includes one glass each of the Vitis Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Montrachet. Gorgeous and elegant, Riedel Vitis is a new series launched in 2007. Vitis, meaning 'vine' in Latin, is Riedel's tallest machine-made lead crystal glass, and the pinnacle of modern stemmed-glass technology featuring highly sophisticated grape varietal-specific bowls on a pulled stem.

Review of BIA Cordon Bleu Assorted Salad/Dessert Plates, Set of 6, Gift Boxed, Wine Countries

Very pleased with the items but if you read the description it states there are 12 plates.That is a very good value at the $24.98 price and ordered two sets.Was disappointed when they came in and there were only 6 in each box.The plan was to break up the sets to create 24 separate wine themed gift baskets for 24 friend and now only have 1/2 of what I need.Very misleading and disappointing.Whoever is responsible for writing and proofreading the ad (Target or Amazon) should be responsible for making good on the ad by sending me two more sets and then correcting the ad so others won't be misled.
