Perfect Gift!

Tim's mom Marsha bought us the most amazing engagement gift! We saw it for the first time in Chicago when we went to dinner at Capri's. They have one on each table for properly serving aerated red wine. Tim's mom loved it so much that she talked them into selling her one for her house. And after seeing how much we loved it, she bought one for us as well. You pour your wine into the top and it floats over the glass ball into the decanter. Then you put your glass under it (or your serving vessel) and push the lever to dispense. If you prefer white wine, you can freeze the glass ball and pour white in - and the frozen ball helps to chill the wine. And of course, she threw in a bottle of 2003 Silver Oak which means that maybe, just maybe I will open the 2002 sometime soon because I have a back up now. It looks so perfect on our bar!

It's very elegant looking. I can't wait to see it up close. I especially like the chilling feature.
