The Single Malt Whisky glass is perfect to emphasize the elegant creaminess of top quality single malt whisky.

This glass was designed as a result of a series of workshops in 1992. The final product has an elongated thistle shape on a truncated stem, and incorporates a small, slightly outturned lip which highlights sweetness.

Sommeliers was the world’s first wine friendly glass collection and a design revolution created by Claus J. Riedel (9th generation). The range adheres to the Bauhaus design principle of form follows function, as Claus J. Riedel had discovered that certain wines showed more depth and better balance when enjoyed from certain shapes. Thin-blown and unadorned, Sommeliers was the beginning of RIEDEL's dominance of the global wine glass market.

Milk: Pasteurized goat's milk (Saanen breed)

Producer: Fromagerie l'Amuse / Cooperative dairy in Zijerveld, Netherlands

Affinage: Aged approximately 18 months

Style: Aged Gouda

Origin: Netherlands

Betty Koster founded Fromagerie l'Amuse in Amsterdam in 1989 alongside her husband Martin. A destination for serious cheese lovers, l'Amuse is celebrated for its rare, small-production Dutch gems — among them Wilde Weide and Terschelling. Betty's decades-long relationships with Dutch farmers, cheesemakers, and opleggers (affineurs) grant her access to an unparalleled range of wheels, selected and aged to her exacting standards.

"Black Betty" — also known as Brabander Reserve — is the crown jewel of that cellar. Pressed from the milk of Saanen goats and aged far beyond the typical Brabander, it develops a firm yet yielding paste studded with crystalline casein crunch. Layers of sweet caramel and toasted nuttiness unfold slowly, with a clean, bright finish that only goat's milk can deliver.

The reigning queen of aged Gouda, to which all others simply bow.

Pairings: Aged Riesling, Sauternes, Tawny Port, honeycomb, Marcona almonds, quince paste

Priced per ounce.

A creamy, crumbly answer to classic English Cotswold, Forager is blended with savory garlic and fresh chives. Delicately tangy and bursting with bright, herbaceous flavor, it stands deliciously apart from other cheeses.

Its rich yet pleasantly firm texture makes it equally suited to slicing, crumbling or melting. The subtle sweetness of the cheese balances beautifully with the aromatic garlic and fresh, onion-like character of the chives, creating a satisfying savory finish without overwhelming the palate.

Forager makes a distinctive addition to any cheese or charcuterie board. Serve it with crisp apples, ripe pears, grapes, toasted nuts, rustic bread or simple crackers. It is also delicious crumbled over salads and baked potatoes, folded into omelets, layered into sandwiches or melted into burgers and savory dishes.

Pair it with Sauvignon Blanc, dry Riesling, unoaked Chardonnay, a refreshing lager or a crisp hard cider.

Firefly Farms Merry Goat Round — Accident, Maryland

The Merry Goat Round is Firefly Farms’ best-selling retail cheese — and it earns that distinction every time. Made in the Appalachian highlands of Garrett County, Maryland, Firefly Farms has been crafting award-winning artisan goat cheeses since 2002, drawing on the clean mountain air and pastoral landscape that define this corner of the mid-Atlantic. The Merry Goat Round is a soft-ripened chèvre with a bloomy, fully edible rind that develops beautifully at every stage of ripening. The texture is supple and impossibly creamy, the flavor is clean and bright, and the rind — as Firefly will tell you — is where the fullest, most complex flavor is concentrated. Chefs, caterers, and cheese lovers agree: this one deserves a giant round of applause.

The paste is snow-white and lush, with a fresh, clean goat’s milk character that is tangy without being sharp. As it ripens, the rind softens and the interior becomes increasingly supple and complex, developing earthy, mushroom-laced depth that contrasts beautifully with the bright, citrusy core. Bake it at 350°F until soft and smother it in honey — it transforms into something extraordinary.

Little secret: the fullest flavor is concentrated in the rind. Eat every bit of it. — Firefly Farms

Expert Review - Vintage 2022 

James Suckling 98 Points | Power, complexity and brilliance make this a truly remarkable dry riesling, the touch of creaminess from long sur-lie maturation giving this exactly the soft touch it needs to balance the steely minerality that powers it at the imposing yet totally vibrant finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.

Winemaker Description 

Light, crisp and refreshing. Honeyed peach, apples and honeydew melon notes. Off dry, with lots of stone fruit on the palate. Light in body and medium, crisp acidity.

Perfect with Asian food.

Expert Reviews | Vintage 2020 

96 Points James Suckling | This Spatlese beams you up to Cloud 9, from where you have a wonderful view over the beautiful Mosel Valley. In spite of the considerable concentration, this is super-delicate and precise on the barely medium-bodied palate. Enormously long finish, where you barely feel the natural grape sweetness. Drink or hold. 

95 Points Wine Advocate | The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is pure, clear and flinty on the concentrated nose that is reminiscent of a fresh fruit salad served on a slate plate on an early summer morning. Light, lush and highly finessed but seriously structured on the palate, this is a savory, very clear and elegant Sonnenuhr Spätlese with great precision and finesse and highly stimulating salinity and mouth-watering grip on the finish. Rating: 95+ 

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021 

Wine Advocate 94 Points | The 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett is deep and flinty but bright and clear on the refined and elegant nose with beautiful crushed slate aromas. On the palate, this is a rich, round and generous, incredibly lush and supple but crystalline and even pure Sonnenuhr with a highly stimulating, mouth-watering finish. This 2021 shows the great terroir of the cru, in particular in cool vintages due to its exposition that collects the sun's rays in the morning. 

Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | This shows very little sweetness, but is harmonious and well integrated despite the firm acidity that fuels it. Stone- and orchard-fruit notes are flecked by chrysanthemum and cardamom to create the full-spectrum. The finish is long and persistent.

Winemaker Description 

Cassis and lime zest aromas with tart, salty and slate notes.

Try with yellow curry or spring rolls.

Expert Review- Vintage 2023

Christina Pickard of the Wine Enthusiast writes 93 Points | Lime leaf, waxy citrus, white peach notes and a hint of honey open this Clare Valley Riesling. The combo of dryness, cheek-sucking, orange peel acidity and chalky texture makes for a somewhat austere wine solo, but pair with a creamy goat's cheese or seafood risotto and watch it shine. 

Producer Description 

Originally a pastoral run dating back to 1839, and originally named Wolta Wolta, Jim Barry purchased the land for The Lodge Hill Vineyard in 1977 as he was sure it would “produce some of the best Riesling in the Clare Valley.” Situated at 480 meters above sea level and situated on the Eastern Ranges of the Clare Valley, the grapes at our Lodge Hill Vineyard are exposed to concentrated bursts of sunlight and cool nights which encourage slower ripening. This helps deliver beautiful natural acidity and citrus characters that ripen early because of the small crop it produces. Gentle pressing and a rapid move into the fermentation allows the natural fruit flavors to be preserved.

Aromas of fresh lime, spice, citrus blossom, white peach, and nectarine skins open on the nose. In the mouth, the lime flavors take center stage commanding attention on entry. The fruit is fleshy with considerable weight and framed with a refreshing driving acid. A lot of wine!

Expert Review — Vintage 2021

Vinous 97 Points | Pure Chardonnay from the oldest vines of the estate, planted in 1959. Smoothness dominates the nose — almost salty hints of lanolin, a touch of Mirabelle and a lovely note of straw. The palate is intense, concentrated and pervasive, with uncompromising nakedness, dynamism and drive, dripping with lemon brightness, all bound up in earthiness reminiscent of fresh cep mushroom and profound, cooling limestone. Clarity is everything here. The finish is long, serene, touching and memorable. Bone-dry.

About the Wine

Velich Tiglat is the crown jewel of the Velich lineup — sourced from the estate’s original plantings from 1959 in Burgenland, Austria. The wine is fermented naturally and kept on full lees for at least 24 months, building extraordinary texture and complexity without compromising the bone-dry purity that defines the house style.

This is the pinnacle of the Velich range: Tó (young vines) → Darscho (35–50 year vines) → Tiglat (1959 vines). Each step up brings greater concentration, minerality, and aging potential.

Tasting & Pairings

Lanolin, Mirabelle, straw, lemon brightness, fresh cep mushroom, cooling limestone, and salt. Intense and concentrated yet profoundly clear. The finish is long, serene, and memorable. Serve lightly chilled — this demands time and attention in the glass.

• Lobster or scallops with brown butter — the wine’s concentration and lemon brightness elevate luxurious shellfish.
• Roasted turbot or Dover sole — noble white fish for a noble Chardonnay.
• Aged Comté (24+ months) — the depth and salinity of both are a stunning match.

Winemaker Description 

Made from 100% Macabeu, this rare dessert wine spent 21 years in barrel before being bottled. The slow oxidation in barrel gives this wine its characteristic amber color, as well as complex notes of fig, date, toasted hazelnut, and caramel. Best served at room temperature, try this on its own after dinner, or alongside cheese, pastry, or chocolate cake. Once opened, the wine can be enjoyed for several months. 

Jean-Hubert Verdaguer and his wife, Brigitte, helm Domaine de Rancy in the Roussillon, one of only a handful of quality wineries still producing exceptional Rivesaltes in the old Ambré style.

This unique type of fortified wine is a Vin Doux Naturel, in which a pure spirit is added during fermentation to stop conversion of sugar into alcohol. These are complex and incredibly versatile dessert wines, typically 16% to 20% alcohol with 85-100 grams of residual sugar, and acidity varying between 6% and 8%.

The grapes – 100% Macabeau – come from organically-farmed vineyards. It is the addition of neutral grape spirits that prevents them from obtaining organic certification on their Vin Doux Naturels.

They are hand-picked late in the season, pressed, fermented, and fortified in tank. Only the best wine is chosen for barrel-aging, and it remains in barrel for up to 60 years. The wines are bottled as needed, unfined and unfiltered, and the wine is best served at room temperature to fully appreciate the intense, complex aromas that develop in the glass.
