The Best Wine Glass - Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru Wine Glass 98 Pts 

Hello Andrea - I have to try the Conterno and Josephine are on my next to acquire list. I would say yes to different glasses based on style and age. I do want a larger surface area for an older Pinot Noir and I do prefer that for Barolo. I do want a smaller surface area of bowl for newer vintages of PN and there are specific regions that I would do that--namely new world Pinot Noir.

I prefer GC Burgundy to the Zalto Burgundy. I have tried both side-by-side and I believe the most lively and authentic expression is the Grand Cru glass. Zalto has done a superb job of marketing to the Somm community which in turn have been very influential on it's usage to a large community of wine appreciators. No doubt Zalto's have a nice looking design but I would argue the nice look doesn't translate into the best tasting experience. One of the biggest sale points is it's nice light weight design which I have broken all my Zalto's with remarkable ease. My GCs have lasted at least 10 years; I would be sad if I broke them but I have received so much usage and I'd buy them again. I hope this has helped! 🥂

he Stem height is rather tall but if it wasn't it would feel disproportionate. If height is.a concern perhpas visiting a a retailer with al three silhouettes might help. Both Supperleggero and Black Tie are on my Acquire List---so I can compare. I wish I could be of more help.
