At the Riedel Wine Glass Experience in Miami, Maximilian Riedel, 11th-generation CEO of the legendary Austrian glassmaker, demonstrated how the shape of a wine glass can fundamentally alter taste, aroma, and perception. Through a guided tasting of Sonoma Sauvignon Blanc, Russian River Chardonnay, Oregon Pinot Noir, and Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, guests experienced firsthand how precision-engineered glassware transforms wine. The result was a rare and eye-opening masterclass in the science—and emotion—of how we drink.
