Elizabeth’s Favorites
These are the books and products I have and use in my house. I don’t recommend anything I haven’t tried or don’t use. The list of gadgets is small, but it’s all I think you need in your repertoire. The books will be a rotating set – I’ll change them as new ones come out or as I read interesting things.
For now, these are ones I enjoy and think you will too!
I wrote a book!
Weāve gotten great reviews from critics and normal people alike! I think and hope youāll love it!
My favorite wine opener
I have used this type of corkscrew for 18 years and would never use anything else. Itās a customized Wine For Normal People single-hinged corkscrew thatās very solid and sturdy (not your standard grocery store corkscrews even though it may look like that). Check out my video on YouTube to see more about it.

My Top Glassware Picks
After Ep 472, all my glasses are now Glasvin. I love them so much I’m an affiliate.

A perfect hand-blown Burgundy glass

GV Home Sparkling (Glasvin)
Awesome hand-blown sparkling glasses
GV Home Bordeaux (GlasVin)
Hand-blown Bordeaux glasses for everyday use (a little sturdier than Glasvin)
GV Home Burgundy (GlasVin)
Hand-blown Burgundy glasses for everyday use (a little sturdier than Glasvin)
GV Home All Purpose (GlasVin)

GV Home Coupe (Glasvin)
If you prefer to go retro with your sparkling glass, here is the perfect hand-blown coupe!
If you want something besides Glasvin, I tested this Spiegelau white glass to make sure it really was the best affordable glass. It’s great. Check it out in this Epicurious article.
II still love a flute for bubbles, this is the one I use (one of the only non-Glasvin glasses I use!)
If youāre anti-flute, go old school and try a coupe! These double as dessert and cocktail glasses too.
I use the Riedel Cabernet Decanter — easy to use and clean!
