A few days ago, I received a belated Christmas gift from a good friend (we find the holidays are more magical if you stretch them into February).

Check out these lovely glasses made out of recycled/repurposed wine bottles.  These are right up my wine alley, and believe it or not, I didn’t already own a set!  My Friday night gin & tonic is going to taste even better when I drink it out of one of these beauties.

I’ve often admired sets of plain recycled wine bottle glasses, but these are even better — they’re festooned (people don’t use the word festooned enough) with these fine words from the Godfather of American Wine:

Seems like sage advice to me . . . let’s start pouring!

Salud!
