The Glass
If you going to take the time to drink a nice beverage, a good cup of coffee, tea, beer, spirit or wine make sure you have a proper vessel or more plainly a good glass.
The container matters!
One of my favorite birthday gifts was a case of Hoegaarden that came with two specialty glasses . The glasses are made of thick glass that can just as easily house a cold or hot beverage.
And the HoHo tastes so much better in the glass than in a plastic solo cup or other cheap glass. A glass of wine is enhanced with a nice wine glass.
Another pet peeve is paper plates. We go to all this work to make a fine meal and then we serve it on paper plates with plastic utensils. Yuck. A real plate and silverware for me thank you.
A 12 year old scotch or other fine spirit deserves a nice glass. Why spend $60 on a bottle and drink it in a 50 cent glass.
I enjoy a nice glass of Guinness or Murphy's every now and then, but after many years of experience have learned that a Guinness served without a Guinness glass is a violation! I have half dozen Guinness glasses at home and enjoy water, iced tea, and any other beverages in those glasses and somehow they are more delicious. The funny thing is that now the whole family wife, kids, friends all use the Guinness glasses which I must say is irksome, especially when they break them! It's all good.
Some times is just the little things that make every day life just a little more enjoyable.
Cheers!
With Love,
