I know Riedel is the biggest thing in stemless wine glasses, but before I had even heard of them, I knew of a great glass blower named Anderew Hughes. I fell in love with his thumbprint stemless wine glasses and go off registry and give them as wedding gifts every chance I get. Sure they don't have the mass-produced polish of the Riedel, but that is why they are infinitely more special and beautiful -- you can see the crafsmanship and the love. Yay for Andrew!!!
