Anyone who has ever traveled with children knows the value of finding the one restaurant that serves food that your children will eat, oui? So, when we found Le Napoli Restaurant and Pizzeria on our first trip to Annecy, we knew we had found a dining-out solution for les enfants.On one of our visits to Le Napoli, we ordered wine with dinner. It turns out that the wine was served in small juice glasses instead of the usual stemware wine glass. I loved the casual, everyday presentation, and when I returned home I set out to find my own small glasses.
I found them at Crate and Barrel and bought two dozen, knowing that they would have many different lives at many different gatherings. Over the years, these small glasses have served wine, water, pastis, juice, and most recently soup as my Thanksgiving amuse bouche.
I treasure these glasses, small and reminiscent of French bistros; they were a worthy investment and they'll grace my table for years to come.
I have almost drank my wine in small juice glasses in various forms (I often break them!)
ReplyDeleteI will check out the crate and barrel ones. I just remember in Italy that's how they served wine so I've been doing it ever since.

K, I think it must be a European thing; as you said, that's how wine was served in Italy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for you recent comments, and yes, I do want to consider dual post/series. Maybe after the holidays, oui?
I love wine in these types of glasses. So chic and casual at the same time. They are lovely glasses. I wish we had a crate and barrel store nearby. I used to love going to the one in Houston.
ReplyDeleteI have a set of stemmed juice glasses just perfect for this.
ReplyDeleteLe Napoli is a great find ! It looks so chic :)
