I think you convinced me… Will try to get a 6-pack of these.

You all are bad influences. Guess I’m going to have to pick up a few of these glasses!

I bought a 6 of the 45s; good deal for $40 each. I haven’t tried whites yet. Now it’s a wait list item at K&L.

I am also a huge fan of the Liberte and is my all time favorite universal glass for Champagne, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

So i had a little 1996 Kalin Sémillon left (so good!) So i poured evenly between the Lehmann and a Grassl Liberte (only time i use that glass is for whites), and it was a pretty tough call. The Grassl might have a slight edge on the nose (which is a big deal for me)…but the Lehmann is SOOO much more refined in your hand, that it literally makes the Grassl feel ‘clunky’.
Don’t take that the wrong way, the Grassl is a very fine glass…this is more a statement around how amazing the Lehmann feels in your hand/ lips vs
A knock on the Grassl.
I’ve gotta lean Lehmann here based on the feel, but I’ll for sure try this again with my next white wine

Damn you. I need more wine glasses like I need a tooth under my tongue …
In a Hail Mary effort to dodge this bullet against which I know my willpower would stand no chance, please indulge me and answer this: which Grassl has been dethroned?
Ha ha! I hear ya! I’m not easily excited by glasses at this point as i own most of the usual suspects (as i know many of you do)…but these are special.
Grassl Liberte is the one i use for whites or sparkling. I like GGG SIGNIFICANTLY more…but that’s the Grassl that was demolished by the Lehmann

Josephine No. 4?

That seems to be the one!
Various Soms and magazines like the Josephine line, I’ve never used one. and actually don’t like the look. They are designed by Kurt Zalto. He investors into the Zalto company and they forced him out (not sure what was the dispute).

we use the Zalto champagne glasses and like them a lot

I thought the Josephine glasses looked bizarre and couldn’t understand why anyone would invest in them. Then, I had the experience of using the Bordeaux glass at & Sons in Brooklyn and had a classic “I get it now” moment. The glasses are admittedly beautiful, and look far better in person than in photos (That extra ridge just doesn’t photograph well). They’re also a joy to use. Pricey, though, and I can’t say they perform any differently than my Grassls.

I have the Zalto Champagne glass and like it quite a bit, although I use a Riedel Extreme more often (larger opening and bowl than most Champagne glasses, also fairly sturdy). I also use Zalto Universal stems quite a lot including for Champagne.

I haven’t seen one in person and can imagine they would look better.

It took me a decade to collect these. From an organoleptic point of view, I am not going to claim that these are the greatest Champagne flutes ever produced.
There is something to be said for drinking Champagne out of glasses hand-blown over 200 years ago.
