Robert Wright for The New York Times In a recent article, the New York Times discussed buying glasses for wine with i Trulli restaurant owner, Nicola Marzovilla. Whether buying for your restaurant or home, writer Rima Suqi and Marzovilla get it right and the glassware buying advice offered is well worth considering. But then, if Marzovilla suggests an Italian wine, you'll want to listen, as well.
As one of the country’s leading authorities on Italian wine, Nicola gives a surprisingly refreshing answer when asked what he likes to drink: “I’m a situationalist wine drinker,” he says. “Whatever I drink, depends on the situation. If I’m poolside, it might be a Brachetto Acqui from Piemonte. If it’s after dinner and I’m with good friends, then it’s most definitely Nebbiolo, ideally old Barolo.” Good advice....on both the vessel and the beverage to drink from it. Here's a link to the article and the advice: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/20/garden/shopping-for-wineglasses-with-nicola-marzovilla.html
Oakes continued, “The evening will see us pay tribute to the long service of dozens of great people and will also see us celebrate the next generation of outstanding ceramicists -our young apprentices.”

The collection which was originally launched late last year has proven incredibly versatile in use with establishments layering items and using the sloped serving bowls in other areas such as buffets and deli-displays. The key range is now extended to include three sizes of rectangular plates. Designed to fit with the square items already in the range there are plenty of options for presenting food to the table and for the accompanying side dishes. The sculptured curved edges add an instant modern feel, while a very flat center assists creativity in presentation. Consideration, as with all Churchill ranges, has been given to the practicality ‘in-use’ and each piece has been rigorously tested for durability, stackability for back of house and items are deliberately light-weight. Vanessa Carter – Churchill’s Head of New Product Development commented, “We are really excited about GLIDE, it is a very contemporary collection and has allowed us the opportunity to create something completely different for establishments wishing to differentiate themselves from the competition. The designs are soft, yet sculptured in a way which enhances the presentation and visual appeal of all types of food. By enabling layering of the different sizes of plates there is an opportunity for adding value through presentation. It also fits in with the trend for combination dishes and smaller tapas style dining.” The full collection also features a number of serving bowls and dishes of different shapes.
