the right glass

it's too bad i'm not

 hosting

thanksgiving dinner

this year --

my new wine glasses just arrived from

john derian

and i couldn't be more thrilled

with them.

they're just the right size

&

being hand-blown,

each one is just a little bit

different from the next.

just like my ice,

(small cubes, please)

i'm very particular about which glass i use

for any given drink.

i prefer

saucers to flutes

for

champagne

&

for the hard stuff

heavy crystal

feels the best

(although, for some reason, i always have the urge to throw it at the fireplace)

for an aperitif or after-dinner drink,

i particularly love the

tiny glasses

 el jeffe and i

got as a wedding present

and for a gimlet 

(of course for you, moor) 

our "star" glasses are the best --

another favorite

wedding present

for the everyday
&
everything in-between

my all-time 

favorite glassware is from

h groome

the glass is ultra-thin 

&

 from

 juice glass to highball,

i think they're perfect.

cb2 

has a less expensive version,

but they're heavier and

 don't have the same 

feel

cheers!
