TUESDAY, August 18, 2020, is International Pinot Noir Day so raise a glass and drink a toast to this beautiful cultivar. And not just any glass…

If you can, get your paws on a Reidel glass, one which is specifically designed for Pinot Noir. They’re not inexpensive (but that’s all relative I suppose) and therefore come with built-in anxiety you’re going to break them. I feel mine (a gift) should be wrapped in velvet and kept in a locked chest, and be taken out on special occasions to be gazed upon. Or, I could just use them in the evening in front of the television and imagine I am very grown up.
