The End of Western Civilization: Riedel

by TomHill » Tue Sep 17, 2013 7:23 pm

I was reading today my latest copy of TonyBlue's joke of a magazine, The Tasting Report. Well...I read it only for the centerfold and the picsof hot chicks w/ mucho cleavage.
There was an article on a seminar that GeorgRiedel held in PasoRobles. He declared that his wine glasses are all based on physics. Yeah...sure.
But what caught my eye was he stated in 2014, Riedel will be introducing special glasses for coffee and tea. And...and...soda pop.
The Lord have mercy on us...it's the end of Western Civilization as we know it.

I love my Riedel beer glasses..with a pistol grip, probably useful in the event I get sloshed, purchased at Riedel's shp in Innsbruck > 40 years ago..No, I don't think they were designated as a beer glass but kinda funky as a wine glass

Surely you didn't think he was in the business of making wine glasses! It's plain as the nose on your face that he's in the business of making money. Lots of it.
