SALE ALERT: HUGE Riedel sale at Williams Sonoma

Anyone who considers themselves an oenophile knows and appreciates a good wine glass.  With that said, Riedel is one of the best glasses out there, and it is our brand of choice for wine glasses.

We have a plethora of different Riedel glasses, but my favorite is the Riedel Sommeliers Bourgogne (Burgundy) Grand Cru Glass.  Sure, this glass is mainly meant for pinot noir and Burgundy, but I have been known to drink other varietals out of these glasses.  This is or go to glass when going to offline tastings, and just a gorgeous glass, albeit a bit oversized.

Today, we stopped in our local Williams Sonoma, and found these glasses being blown out at $61 a pair.  WHAT?????  This cannot be right.  We originally purchased two of these glasses, which retail for over $100 a piece, so when I saw these at $61 a pair, I jumped on 4 of them.  In all actuality, I am tempted to go back and get another 4, but we'll wait 'til next weekend to see if they get marked down again.  You just never know.

Even so, at $61 a pair, it is basically like buying one glass, and getting 3 free.  What a bargain!  So get down to your local Williams Sonoma, and see what kind of Riedel bargains they have.  This isn't the first time we have come across a Riedel sale that we couldn't pass up, and I'm sure it won't be the last!  Cheers!  -F.

Riedel Stemware SALES ALERT at Williams Sonoma

After spending a gorgeous January day on campus in Princeton, we stopped in The Market Fair on Route 1 to visit some of the stores that we enjoy to browse: Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, and Restoration Hardware. After a quick stop in Pottery Barn, we headed over to Williams Sonoma where we ran into some great sales! Williams Sonoma always has a table in the back where they have many of their sale items, and they just happen to be blowing out some of their Riedel crystal. Today, we were lucky enough to stumble across 5 of the Riedel Sommeliers Rosé Glass, regularly priced at $74 per glass, on sale for $9.99. The Sommelier Series contains their top of the line glasses, and these truly are a work of art. Note that there is no sales price online on Williams Sonoma's website (linked above), so you have to find these in a store.

There has also been some banter on the different wine boards of foks finding other bargains from Riedel, such as decanters, glass sets, and other Riedel items. So if you get a chance, stop by your local Williams Sonoma and see what they have. If they have anything interesting, feel free to leave a comment here to give our readers a heads up of as to what you found, and where you found it! Thanks, and as always, cheers!
