AA Cafe LXXVIII

Mark Brown and I continue to discuss the shape of things. This time I interview Chris Large of Eco Vino Wines, and he tells us about how the shape of wine glasses affect our wine drinking experience and why certain wines are in certain shaped bottles. Of course, I relate it all back to the vessels in which we serve coffee. Thanks also to Natalie Legener from Tulsa Glass Blowing Studio.
