Hello Wine Lovers!  

For 250 years the the Austrian Riedel family has been producing high quality crystal glasses that are deigned to enhance your wine drinking experience.  This month’s tasting at Micky’s Bistro will give you an opportunity to discover what an impact this unique stemware has on your perception of the wine you are drinking.  We will enjoy 5 ultra premium wines and the fabulous chef at Micky’s will prepare some tasty appetizers to enjoy.  We will first taste the wines using a regular glass and then using the Riedel Stemware.  It will be a great opportunity to sharpen your wine skills and a Sommelier will guide you through the tasting process.

Cheers!
