Grassl Glassware

Speaking of anti-matter, I already received my bd order as well. That took like 6 seconds, anti-matter and transporter technology ? They look great and I am excited to try them. Thank you.

[Brent_S]

mine arrived today. how do they weigh so little? I feel nervous holding them. Guess i’ll get more comfortable once i use them.

[John_Preston]

I use mine on a regular basis. Even though they might appear delicate, I have yet to break one.

Cheers,
JP

They are much less fragile than they appear/feel.

Been using them regularly for a year and all are still intact.

Thanks, Mike. I went ahead and ordered the Liberte to try these glasses. People seem to like them a lot, so I’m looking forward to trying them.

I don’t post or peruse the boards much anymore. I got out of the habit when I was in the distribution business for almost 10 years, but who knows…I might pop in once in a while. Lots of old names here…if I remember correctly, you go back to the old CompuServe days, right?

MMW!

Anyone have tips for how best to clean these, particularly the 1855 given how delicate it seems? Can’t seem to find a good position for placing it in the dishwasher and would like to give it a wash before use.

I have the same problem with the dishwasher. It just doesn’t seem to fit so I hand wash. The size of the top of the bowl makes it hard.

When we bought our most recent dishwasher a decade or so ago (maybe 15 years at this point, who knows, I specifically made this a shopping point. We bought a Miele and it has a little shelf that folds down on the top rack specifically to hold stems. With the top rack lowered all the way, it will hold my new Grassls, and my old Riedel Vinums (though the syrah is a mm or so too tall, so it takes a little jiggling). I’ll never buy another dishwasher without the wine glass feature!

[Dav3_Dyr0ff]

I think I need one of those bags, once it’s big enough to hold 4 of the big boys. Nice supplement to my Riedel-branded six-carrier (aka the box they came in).

Our house is Liberte for still whites and Mineralite for bubbles. Zalto Bordeaux for our reds.

Those Champagne glasses look tight, Chris. May have to jump in on those when they’re available.

Glasses arrived–they look beautiful. Wow.

Chris.
I was not around for Berserker day due to work but
I am in for some Liberte and Cru when the time comes around again.
Don’t burn the candle at both ends!

Loving the tasting glass.

Chip-the Anti-matter made me smile

Been a long week. My poor admin who normally runs the business while I work my other career tore a tendon in her foot. It’s been all me most nights. The people
Of the board were very generous and supportive. I had 400 orders.

My hands are covered with kraft tape glue each night.

It’s been a labor of love though.

And Keith, I packed and labeled your replacement tonight. She will ship tomorrow sir.

Thanks so much Chris!

Well I’ll just throw another match on the flame, but I have been doing my own side by side comparison of Grassl 1855 vs the Zalto Bordeaux glasses for the last 4 weeks and in many cases blind. The wines were all Bordeaux from 1990-2005, with most being from 2000. While there are definitely noticeable differences I preferred the Grassl in all instances, even when blind. My palate gravitates to old world mature wines and the Zalto comes across a bit brighter and candied where the Grassl is more abt to show the tertiary characteristics a bit more and do I dare say more focus? Certainly a bit more lift. Ive known Chris for over 15 years (shit Im getting old) and I am thrilled for him and us that he was able to create something like this. Cheers to well deserved success!

PS February will the Burgundy testing. YUM

[J_Rock]

Guys, stop teasing me! Mine aren’t supposed to be here until Monday (which is still very quick shipping!

[JDavisRoby]

Mine shipped today and are scheduled to arrive Tuesday. These fawning posts have me very anxious to give them a swirl.

Chris extended Berserkerday Pricing. I think through today, 01/31/2020 — but don’t count on me – just look at his posting in the BDXI subforum.

[Brad_S_c_h_i_e_r]

Mine arrived in Texas… loved them so much… added a decanter. Will add more next B day and will spin down others to parents lake house.

[maureen_nelson]

Ok just read thru both long threads and attempted to buy a dozen Cru (best for burg, right) but can’t get the cart to load them. Sold out? Or what.

[JonathanG]

Some are on backorder, you may have to select backorder as your shipping option. I think I had to do that on a couple of items also.

Today is my first Grassl Glass day. Ithought at first they were a bit too thin, but once there’s some wine in them, they just feel so balanced and elegant. So glad I bought several on BD. Awesome product for sure.
