S4E4 How to Swirl with Glasvin Founder David Kong

David Kong loved drinking wine out of expensive handblown glasses but hated the sinking feeling every time one got broken. He wanted a handblown wine glass at a more accessible price, so started his own company to make it exist! David is a lifelong foodie and classical music fan who always wanted to start his own business. Now he sells his Glasvin wine glass line to restaurants and wine lovers all over the world. Rose Thomas identifies wine glass shape as a hot button for consumer anxiety as well as an opportunity for personal expression. David and RT talk about how much you should spend on a wine glass, how wine glasses are made, the purpose for different wine glass shapes, and how swirling just hits different in a light-as-a-feather handblown glass. Check out David's glasses at glas.vin Follow Glasvin on Instagram instagram.com/glas.vin They also discuss how blind tasting can be a great opportunity to learn from people who have a different culinary and agricultural background, and make plans to host a dinner party where people blind taste wine AND classical music (identifying the composer and piece). What do you think, should we have that party? Do you know anyone who could blind taste wine and classical music? Let us know who's got that skill set in New York!

RT's glass tastevin is by glass artist Marc Kornbluh: Instagram.com/kornbluhglass The book that we reference around 38 minutes is Wine Girl by Victoria James.
