If only Zalto made one of these...

Never. Not once. I would be offended.

So, Merrill - if I brought my Zalto Universal to taste with you, you wouldn’t pour for me? I will be honest, I have never tried your wines (but would like to).

Continuing the thread drift:

Merrill: how often do winos show up with their own stem for tasting?

To all: for those who are balls-out enough to carry your stems with you, in what do you carry them safely?

I carry mine in a Reidel bag (softside briefcase looking thing). It holds 4 glasses - MW and I carry 2 Zalto universals and two Reidel Chardonnay glasses in it, with a towell to wipe out the glasses at the end of the night.

The Zalto Universal put the Riedel/Spiegelau to shame tonight. The R/S are still a major step up from le plastique or a generic belly up to the bar, for sure. But looking at this.

I certainly see your point about the tasting room process - too good in the room (zalto) and never good enough at home (no zalto).

Maybe you should sell both the wine and the glass?
