I want to add some nice wine glasses to my Christmas wish list but can't decide what I want or what makes the most sense without having 100 different glasses. I have great Riedel pinot glasses, majority of wines I drink are probably Syrah, riojas, or bordeaux blends.....is there a single glass I can get away with? Would the Riedel Extreme Shiraz glasses get the job done?

If you want to go something more premium, I'd recommend the Grassl 1855 stem. Unless we're throwing a huge party, or someone requests a cheaper stem, Grassl is what you'll drink out of at my house.

Love my Riedel Vinum stems, including the above mentioned Syrah glass. I also have some Schott Zwiesel stems, but most everything I own is Riedel.

Second (or third, or whatever) the Grassel 1885s. It's our go-to, daily-use stem and I now hate drinking out of anything else. Generously, but not ridiculously sized. We drink mostly Syrah, Grenache, Cab and Bordeaux style blends.

Have tried all the high-end Riedels, Zaltos, Gabriel-Glas, et al. Schott Zwiesel used to be my go-to, but now they feel like clunky, margarita glasses in comparison to the Grassl. Customer service is also great if you get the Grassl from Chris at cjfselections.com. (No incentive or affiliation, just have received outstanding customer service.)

Status: offline 		Thanks everyone! I know there's a ton of glass threads, figured I'd ask just based on my wine preferences. But again, thanks everyone for entertaining a often asked question.
