Let’s talk decanters. Does anyone have a specific shape they recommend over others?

What’s important is that the wine has a decent surface area when filled, and you can handle it to pour comfortably. A cut crystal mouth is ideal so it pours well without dripping. Beyond that shapes are pretty much just cosmetic, though they can affect how it pours. You want to easily make a constant stream, and not get a big wave of liquid move to the mouth and be difficult to control.

I have a Riedel pitcher-shaped one with a large punt on the bottom and it works wonderfully.

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.
