<description><![CDATA[I have to admit, when it comes to wine glasses, I am partial to the Riedel brand. Being a lover of wine, and being in a business that predominately focuses on high-end wine glasses is kind of like being a parent. Say you have four kids. You love them all out of duty and kinship, but let's be honest--most of the time, there's one that gets favored more. Maybe because you get along better, you have common interests, they have the same sense of humor as you, whatever the case. It's human nature. So, Riedel is my favored kid of wine glasses.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Merlot bursts with flavors of berries, cherries, and plums married with chocolate, pepper, and even leathery tones. While this wine is often mistaken for cabernet sauvignon in blind tastings, its grape is softer and fleshier than the cab.
