Fine Wine, Fancy Glass

Wine enthusiasts go to great lengths to discover great wines, so shouldn’t they be drunk from glasses that bring out their maximum beauty?

JW Marriott proves glamour and luxury comes hand in hand with rarity. Heavily driven by the mantra, "a point of interest around every corner", it is back with a classy new concept of the Riedel Room @ Q88. This is a journey that will change the way you wine, dine and recline.

The well heeled international traveler accustomed to the highest level of service and facilities can duck in JW Marriott and heave a sigh of luxurious relief. It is home to an all-in-one chill out and entertainment concept where professionals, connoisseurs, socialites are all welcomed. An in-depth collaboration between the management of the hotel and the Riedel firm is now reaping exciting benefits for those who want to enjoy the pleasure of fine wine and the art of glass. "Isn't life about savouring.....to savour the moment and enjoy each and every sip?'

Can the shape and size of a wine glass change your perception of wine? Riedel Crystal, a family owned business for 11 generations, led by current President Mr. Georg Riedel, has literally revolutionized the world of wine drinking with his innovative and highly acclaimed crystal wine glasses. "How does Riedel make a glass that improves the enjoyment of wine?" was the next question. Each glass is individually hand crafted by skilled craftsmen and is customized to accentuate the individuality of different wines. When the air and wine meet to fill this crystal vessel, its delicate curves releases the remarkable fragrance of pleasure that will be enjoyed. The shape of the glass is designed to bring balance to the aromatic experience by initially delivering the sweetness to our senses before the earthy and alcoholic components within the wine come forward. The taste impact of Riedel's Sommeliers wine glasses is ultimately about delivering the wine in a controlled and precise manner to the palate. The flavour of wines differs so dramatically from one glass to another that even novice wine drinkers would find this an interesting wine drinking experience.

For something even more intimate, there's a corner with a first-of-its-kind crystal ball - with more than 33,500 pieces of sparkling crystals draped from the ceiling, designed to add a new dimension to a private dining affair. Landing in air of elegance, there is also a walk-in wine cellar from which all guests can choose wines from a display of over 200 bottles or seize the opportunity to try the chef-crafted menus, available only if you book this opulent retreat for a cocktail party.

For those who are bright, beautiful and sleepless in the city, Riedel Room @ Q88 provides a new lease of life.

I love the scenic views that we in Hong Kong are lucky to have and what better to complement this than with great food. Please recommend me some great spots where both comes together in one neat restaurant package?
