Now, I'm sure I'll run into some skeptics here, but hear me out. This was like the coolest magic show every. The wines we tried were poured into their proper glasses. The Chardonnay was in the Chardonnay glass and it tasted and smelled wonderful. But when the Chardonnay was poured in to the Reisling glass, it was no longer creamy and wonderful. Completely different aspects of the wine came out in taste, feel and smell. It was crazy. The wine was exactly the same (I know, we poured it back into the Chardonnay glass and it was wonderful again) but in the wrong glasses it tasted...well, wrong. And the same went for all the other wines/glasses.
He even put a dummy cup, a plastc cup on the set up. Any wine tasted like any wine you've ever gotten at a fair/festival/event. A Parker 95 wine tasted like $4 grocery store wine in it. I'm not kidding. In an regular everyday Riedel glass the wine was better, more like an 89, but still never as good as it was in it's proper glass.
I know, some of you are thinking, well Jag, you got sucked into buying all the proper glasses because he made you think the wine is better in each one. That's so not the case. The glasses came with the tasting.
