A Note from Jonah
"Decanting a wine is an act of respect. Respect for the wine in that a little oxygen and a chance to unfurl allows it to show off its complexity. Respect for the drinker in that a decanted wine is easier on the palate and more open on the nose. Alpha Decanter adds a touch of respect for the art of glass blowing with its graceful curve and precise details."
