Microwave Cooking for One by Marie T Smith
Setting the Table: Glassware
Riedel O
For the uninhibited wine connoisseur looking for an edge, the Riedel O collection
offers an innovative twist: stem-less tumblers. The tumblers live up to the name O by presenting
rounded, compelling shapes that fit sensuously into the hand. Exclamations are sure to be elicited
when these modern glasses make an appearance at a party or fireside tête-à-tête. All the familiar
Riedel touches of sophistication — shape, size, and rim diameter — distinguish each of
the six designs to ensure the finest appreciation of a particular wine.

When it comes to finding Riedel that is difficult
to find in stores near you, one of your best resources for acquiring the items you
want is eBay, where there are a lot of wonderful finds still in the
original boxes. We all receive those odd items as gifts that we have no need for and
never use. Yet, one person's junk could be exactly the treasure you want.
If you are having difficulty finding items in your favorite Riedel collection,
