Endless choices off glasses will alway...Hi Morten,<br /><br />Endless choices off glasses will always give small nuances here and there. I think it’s a matter of how geeky you are (and I am really geeky when it comes to glasses).<br /><br />If you already have such fine stemware as the two benchmark glasses from Riedel Sommeliers you should be well covered (I also have those). But of course The Era Ora glass (Which is from Spiegelau’s Willsberger collection) will give you something else.<br /><br />Roberto Conterno, whom I visited a couple of years ago, finds this glass ideal for his wines, so that’s the reason why I used it here. It works really well with this wine, and in general it’s a good glass to broaden flavors and repress alcohol. The dried elements of a Barolo shows really well in this glass and the wine will seem more subtle, as will lean the glass somewhat differently, because of the wide opening of the glass. It’s not a glass I would recommend for modern/Barrique Barolo – but old school stuff and preferable with some age. <br /><br />Hope you found this useful.<br /><br />Best from,<br /><br />/ThomasThomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092972086667650035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367424679032651122.post-10415128777923214172009-11-18T23:44:37.813+01:002009-11-18T23:44:37.813+01:00Hi Thomas,

I just wanted your opinion about the glass since I've been meaning to buy this if it really enhances the aromas of Barolo - and other wines. I've so far used Riedels Sommelier Bordeaux and Burgundy glasses, but wondered if there's a "world" I haven't discovered yet. <br /><br />BR<br /><br />Morten JørgensenUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007061762454368574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367424679032651122.post-90778490541560130732009-11-10T09:49:04.288+01:002009-11-10T09:49:04.288+01:00Hi Trine,

Like most other top restaurants in Copenhagen it’s now lighter and I defiantly see some Noma inspiration as there are more local herbs and vegetables on the plate. But it still seems like the base of the menu is classic (French yes) in some way, with a little twist and with more local ingredients. It’s the sort of restaurant I could easily see my wine club ending up (like this evening), but I would never take my wife there.<br /><br />And what a compliment….if Selosse (always) makes you think of me ;-)<br /><br />Looking forward to the Mistral report.<br /><br />Best,<br />/ThomasThomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092972086667650035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367424679032651122.post-35912758220693268242009-11-09T23:23:07.076+01:002009-11-09T23:23:07.076+01:00Hi Thomas

Or, I feel exactly the same about the place.<br />Is the food less French-classic these days?<br /><br />Best from Trine<br /><br />Ps. Have finally started writing my Mistral review, comming soon. Selosse made me think of you... :-)good foodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619276067068989659noreply@blogger.com
