Stemless Wine Glasses: Love Them or Hate Them?
In recent years, stemless wine glasses have really seemed to gain traction in the marketplace, and the leading stemless wine glass maker, Riedel, even releases limited-edition versions of its wildly popular stemless styles.
But yesterday, San Francisco Chronicle restaurant critic Michael Bauer questioned the functionality of stemless wine glasses, pointing out that wine poured in stemless wine glasses measured three degrees warmer than the same wine poured in a stemmed glass — a significant difference in temperature when it comes to the enjoyment of wine.
Stemless Wine Glasses: Love Them or Hate Them?
Desire/Acquire: Clio Glass Hargreave Carafe
I've been aching to own the Clio Glass Hargreave Carafe ($120) since I first saw it about five years ago. It's so clever and fun! I love its modern pill shape and bright colors, and how its top becomes a glass.
Starbucks To-Go Cold Cup Tumbler: Love It or Hate It?
Even before my afternoon stint as a barista, I was an enthusiastic fan of Starbucks. I go there on an almost daily basis, and often bring in my reusable Starbucks "to go" tumbler. When I first bought it, I had the manager at my local store use a Sharpie to scribble shorthand for my regular order on the side (genius!).
Half Pint Creamer: Love It or Hate It?
Coffee with cream gets cheeky with this clear glass Half Pint Creamer ($15). It's molded to look like a cardboard carton of half-and-half but with a more sophisticated effect. Would you give it a pour?
Off to Market: Margarita Glasses
Cinco de Mayo is around the corner and I plan on celebrating by whipping up a batch of margaritas for my girlfriends. However, the only margarita glasses I own are oversized and more suited for serving dips than sipping tequila. You know what that means: it's time to head off to market in search of margarita glasses.

Would You Rather Drink Champagne From a Flute or a Coup?
A flute: it's traditional, classic, and always sophisticated.
A coup: it's chic, stylish, and very old-fashioned.
Hopside Down Glasses: Love It or Hate It?
I can't lie, I love glassware. I enjoy everything from Moroccan tea glasses to oversize pint glasses to party glasses. However, when I saw these hopside down beer glasses, I immediately knew they would never become a part of my elaborate collection.

How Do You Feel About Martini Glasses?
Although I have a tendency to spill, drinking out of a martini glass is always fabulous.
I hate martini glasses!
Off to Market Recap: Party Glasses
What with the Oscars, Mardi Gras, and St. Patrick's Day, I plan on doing a lot of entertaining in the next couple of weeks. From Champagne flutes, to tumblers, to pint glasses, each soirée requires a certain glass.
Do You Chill Glasses in the Freezer?
Do You Chill Glasses in the Freezer?
Yes, I always have a couple of glasses chilling in the freezer for cold beer and icy martinis.
Only during the Summer when the weather is really hot.
