Chez Peachy: Blackberry Argento Wine Glass by Julia Knight Highly Recommended by Whom You Know! Perfect for Celebrating the Christmas Season!

We drink a lot of fine wine at Whom You Know, and you only need to look as far as the Champagne Wishes column to see the wines we like the best! (you know we never comment on what we don't like...) Well, it would be a very boring world if we used the same wine glasses every time so we are delighted that we have met Julia Knight! Like Hunter Dixon, another brand we love, Julia is sold at Saks and we think her glassware is outstanding. If you're going to use a wine glass you should make sure it is handblown in Florence, n'est pas?

Particularly since the evolution of The Peachy Deegan, which of course is the drink named after her at Swifty's with Star Vodka, our alcohol acclaim has grown and Peachy has been using Julia's fabulous glasses! We even have tried champagne in these and the bubbles look amazing. Peachy loves them so much she uses them for nonalcoholic beverages as well. And, like some of our most favorite shoes, these glasses are made in Italy. The jewel tones, sensuous forms, and inviting textures of Julia Knight’s distinctive bar and glassware (www.juliaknight.net) turn any cocktail or dinner party into a festive event. Wine lovers will delight in the rich hues of the hand-blown goblets or the fiery elegance of the Champagne flutes, while signature enamel and mother-of-pearl finishes give serving pieces an ebullient kick. Julia Knight bowls, trays, glasses and serving pieces are painstakingly handcrafted by artisans in Italy and India. They can all be combined in myriad ways to create statement-making expressions of personal style.

Item Number: 9020035
8 1/2" high, 4"wide, 12 ounces. Hand blown in Florence, Italy, it takes 4 glass blowers 10 steps and 6 hours to make each piece. Dishwasher safe. Decorated with color chips from Venice and silver sparkles that dazzle.

The Julia Knight Collection (www.juliaknight.net) is available at Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales and specialty stores nationwide. We look forward to featuring Julia as an upcoming interview in Chez Peachy!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
