Thanks for holding it open through today so I could order a Titanium for my yak palate!
I hope the tumblers will be available by then, but not 100% certain. Just posted an update on them in the Commerce Corner and tagged you!
@Robert.A.Jr I am loving this “yak palate” trend you’ve started!!
There can be only one!
The rest are Poseurs!
Palate of a Yak is part of wineberserker folklore.
Yak shows up quickly in this epic thread. I miss Bob Wood. “Shitty” is another inside joke and used by berserkers as a sign of reverence like “this wine was totally shitty” when you love it.
Belle Pente Murto Reserve. Nose of cranberry, rhubarb, strawberry, cherry, a little meat and the telltale Murto spice. Seems to change about every ten minutes. Similar palate with a weight that goes back and forth from thin to substantial and mouth-filling. Fine-grained but substantial tannins that argue for bottle age. Consumed with Ancient Heritage Adelle, a local sheep’s milk soft-ripened cheese, a sourdough baguette (also local) and pate de Bambi. Sucks. Don’t buy it. I poured most of the …
Then I have a Faux-Yak palate!
A Kurniawanyak.
My Titaniums arrived today. The box was crushed but the wine glasses were miraculously intact.
@brigcampbell - I had no idea “Yak palate” was folklore. Learn something everyday
@Brian_Tuite - your delivery services are hot trash. All packages you’ve received have been smashed!
Shipping Updates:
Feb 4: All hand-made Titanium wine stem only orders (from Thursday to Monday) have delivered.

Upcoming: Pre-orders with the Premier Wine Glass are on track! Next update in April.
The glassware is finishing up production! Everything is on track and looking good in Europe.
I’ve posted some photos from the factory on our Instagram @FontaineGlass too.
Beyond excited to get these to you in a couple months!
can’t wait to receive them. hoping the tariffs go away before you import!
Ah, thanks for the support @JonathanG
Fortunately, I guess, it seems that the tariff is just the extra 10% flat rate (since the glasses are European)… The five-figure bill will definitely sting a bit but that’s life!
im happy to pay the tariff on my order

im happy to pay the tariff on my order
Same here.
Indeed
Same here re tariffs
Wow, I’m happily overwhelmed by everyone’s support.
Thanks @JonathanG, @Brian_Tuite, @Scott_Watkins, and @Shan_A and the many other Bersekers who have messaged over the last week offering to support Fontaine. At the moment, I can absorb 10%.
One non-financial option for everyone to really help out though is by leaving reviews and sharing your experience with the glassware after you get it here on our Wine Berserkers Fontaine glassware topic and/or on the Fontaine website (I can send you a review request via email or you can just do it on the site).
Thank you!
Bryan,
What is the ETA for the machine made glass (Beserker orders)?
Thank you!!
@grovertrask Shipping in June! Glasses are leaving Europe soon… Fingers crossed the container doesn’t run into customs issues with everything that is going on right now.
Aaaaaaand, sneak peak… A single preview pallet arrived today for the Box of 1 stems.
Berserkers are going to go totally berserk when they get these, I think!
You’re all going to really love the quality. The value is off-the-charts.
Better late than never. In for a dozen stems.
Glasses break. It happens. Finally we’ve had enough break that I’m looking to refresh the inventory, and this seems like a great opportunity.
Is deal still live?
