The only complaint I have is most times the clamshell holder snaps shut when you remove the brush rather than remaining open

It's definitely big and sturdy, but it's a hollow design, so it's not as weighty as the photo would have you think. It also shows fingerprints all over as soon as you touch it. It does match the Pedrini Martini shaker nicely, though.

This is a beautiful piece of glassware that adds a touch of class to any table. However...and this is a significant however...a good decanter should be as broad as possible at the level at which a full bottle of wine will fill it. The idea is to have as large an air-to-wine interface as possible, so as to let as much wine as possible "breathe". This of course is not terribly important for whites and better reds, but younger red wines benefit considerably from being decanted for an hour before they are drunk. Therefore, I suggest this decanter be reserved for whites and reds that are "ready".

No need to keep track of two pieces when one does the job tidily. Streamlined stainless steel makes an understated, good looking topper for any bottle of wine.

Now, I don't recommend that everyone try it but this little gem also prevents spills as a small ball quickly rises to the top preventing wine from cascading all over your damask if the bottle is accidentally toppled.

What won't they think of next?

Great product for those cold nights. My dog is a small Lhasa Apso and we usually keep his hair cut short. Just five minutes in the microwave and you're done. I'd recommend using a oven mit when handling the disc. You can't let your dog lay directly on top of it. You need to bury it under a pad or a few layers of cloth, but it does radiate heat after awhile and keeps on giving heat throughout the night. My dog is comfortable in his house during the cold nights now.

I like this. It's like any other treat ball but that's okay. My cat liked it. You can buy it, I guess.

Americans, we read, are drinking and enjoying more wine. So, whether you're a newbie to the wine aisle in your favorite supermarket or a dyed in the wool oenophile who sniffs and swirls, chances are that bottle stoppers are a necessity for you.

Bottle stoppers are as varied as the wines themselves - from high end sterling to cowboy chic to kitchen gadget cute. These are user friendly and always reliable.

The filter itself traps a lot of dust, especially when used with the prefilter. However, it is part of the overall system works with two specific models, therefore, shortcomings of the filter are shortcomings of the entire assembly. The only problem I have with the filter itself is that it is very expensive. That is why I am giving it four stars instead of five.

We like to entertain and to drink wine, and the one thing we were missing was a wine cooler. This is just the piece we needed. It is very simple, yet classy. A great way to add that special touch for a quite dinner for two or four. Handy enough to be used on a daily basis.
