into: glassware, varietals and usage

I am into glassware. [Concurrently, I am into drinking.] I would say I am on the path to being deeply into glassware. If I did not break so many glasses, I would own a fair amount of glassware, and even so…

Here is an excellent guide to matching your beverage to the ‘correct’ glass type, by The Boys Club. I don’t follow such guides to the letter by any means, but I like to be aware of them and to understand the principles behind them. And this particular chart reminds me of some species overview chart of biological varietals…have always had a weakness for such charts (a couple of clicks will take you to a full screen view). And I appreciate even the flimsiest excuse to get more glasses.

on the menu: Metropolis coffee in my new TSS mug

A lovely blend from the artisan roasters at Metropolis Coffee Company, savored in my new The Seventh Sphinx mug!  An add-on to my business card order. The logo is a little pixelated but this is my failing, and not that of the mug. Some almond biscotti and an omelet, and there is an excellent breakfast.

Have been getting more into coffee (following in so many illustrious footsteps), which I suspect will be increasingly evident.
