Description of Waterford Connoisseur Gold Collection Port/Cognac Pair
The shape of this new hand-made, mouth-blown glass from Waterford Crystal emphasizes the delicate caramel and fruit aromas of the brandy and counteract its fiery alcohol. The Hennessey qualities require different glass shapes according to their age each designed to reveal a particular set of characteristics. The youthful character of their standard quality V.S.O.P. needed to be matched by a glass that could maxamize its fruit, integrating acidity and alcoholic strength into a harmonious whole.Waterford's 2006 Connoisseur Gold crystal stemware collection showcases the ultimate in luxury and, quite literally, taste. The collection pairs each type of wine with a glass distinctly sized and shaped by experienced sommeliers to heighten the flavor and aroma of the liquid within. Voicing the opinion of many wine experts, the distinguished New York wine educator Charles Scicolone of I Tulli restaurant states, "The right glass is essential to the enjoyment of any wine or spirit. Waterford's Connoisseur Gold Collection glasses have been designed to meet the highest standards and will enhance any tasting experience."
All Connoisseur Gold stemware is hand-crafted in Brazil of sparkling crystal. Skilled glassworkers blow the bowls by mouth and carefully pull the stems to Waterford's exacting standards, adding a gold band around the ankle of the impressively thin stem as the crowning touch. This delicate glass, standing 6-1/2 inches tall, features a six-ounce bowl with a lovely contour. The slender shape and flared lip are designed especially for after-dinner sipping of port, sherry, or cognac. Beautifully balanced and exhibiting exceptional clarity, the gift-boxed pair makes a spectacular collector's addition for the connoisseur. Like all fine crystal, the glasses should be washed by hand. --Ann Bieri
