The event took place in the ballroom of the 5-star Caravelle Hotel to a crowd of 120 people who paid US$110 per seat to attend. Georg Riedel flew from Austria especially for the event where he showcased the designs of his Vinum XL Series, the new generation of Riedel wine glasses, which retail in New Zealand at $68 per glass.
A family owned business established in 1756, Riedel Crystal is recognized worldwide for designing and producing the highest quality glasses for wine and spirits so it’s a huge honour that our Pinot Noir was one of the wines selected to demonstrate the benefits of drinking very good wine from very good glasses!
We are so lucky to work with a wonderful distributor in this market, Finewines, and we’re hoping to be back in Vietnam again next May for more activities, including possibly our first wine dinner at the top of one of the newest and tallest buildings in Ho Chi Minh City!
