Quiet Evening Collection

Pulltex Toledo Corkscrew Oak Wood + Leather Pouch

This opener is stainless-steel construction paired with a natural oak wood handle, giving it a warm, distinctive look while keeping the tool lightweight and easy to handle. The hinged double-lever system makes removing a cork a smooth, two-step process, while the Teflon-coated spiral helps it move cleanly into the cork. A serrated blade handles the foil, and the included leather pouch gives the corkscrew a proper place to live when it’s not in use. Made in Spain, each corkscrew has its own natural variations in the wood grain, color and finish, so no two are exactly alike.

The Large Stolzle Vulkanos Fire Decanter

This is where function and a little theater meet. Its wide, stable base gives the wine plenty of surface area for aeration, while the distinctive raised cone inside the bottom disperses the wine as it enters the decanter, increasing its contact with air. That makes the design particularly useful for young, tannic reds that benefit from time to open up and soften. The sheer, unrolled rim provides a clean pour, while the sculptural shape gives the decanter a presence of its own on the table.

But the Fire Decanter isn’t simply about appearance. It’s made from 100% lead-free European crystal and undergoes Stolzle’s fire-tempering process, which increases the hardness and durability of the glass. It’s also dishwasher safe, an unusually practical feature for a substantial crystal decanter. With a 27-ounce capacity, it comfortably holds a standard bottle of wine with room left for swirling and aeration.

The Riedel Vinum Pinot Noir/Burgundy Glasses (2)

These glasses are designed around the way Pinot Noir behaves in the glass. Their wide bowl gives the wine plenty of exposure to air and room to swirl, helping release the wine’s bouquet before the first sip. The tapered shape is designed to direct the wine toward the part of the tongue most sensitive to Pinot Noir’s distinctive character. Made from lead-free crystal, these glasses are designed to enhance the appearance, aroma and flavor of the wine rather than simply provide something to drink from. They’re especially well suited to Pinot Noir and other full-bodied, low-tannin reds such as Barbera, Barolo, Gamay and Nebbiolo. The set includes two glasses, making them particularly appropriate for a quiet evening shared by two people.
