Riedel Veritas Wins Comparison: Oak Notes Tested... Glass Set Delivers both Clarity (And Surprise) We recently tested the Riedel Veritas Oaked Chardonnay Glass, Set of 2, and were impressed by its performance. The glass’s tapered bowl and thin rim allow notes of vanilla and toasted oak to come forward while maintaining the wine’s acidity in the right-profiled bowl. Our tasting notes revealed enhanced aromas and flavors, making even a lightly oaked chardonnay stand out. The set’s elegant design and seamless finishing add a touch of sophistication to any wine collection. What surprised us was how the glass elevated mid-bodied wines with oak notes without overpowering fruit. Our palate noticed a clearer separation between citrus and oak, thanks to the Veritas’ precise shape. For us, this set delivers both clarity and a delightful twist, proving Riedel’s commitment to refining wine experience—making it a must-have for any enthusiast.
Stainless Steel Versus Hot Water: Percolate Maker Showdown, 30-Cup Tested We recently tested the SYBO SR-CP35C Commercial Grade Stainless Steel Percolate Coffee Maker, and it lived up to its promises. Our group was impressed by the urn’s robust build, featuring stainless steel that not only looks sleek but ensures durability. The 30-cup capacity proved perfect for catering, while the 3.5L hot water tank kept the coffee flowing without a hitch. The percolation mechanism delivers a consistent, bold brew every time, making ours the go-to option for large gatherings. Our only minor gripe? The metallic finish can show fingerprints if not wiped regularly. Overall, it’s a reliable performer that balances style, capacity, and performance for busy occasions.
