Review: Fusion Stemware Rack and Carol Fountain Nix/Sophia Ceramic Line
"I had never heard of Carol Nix before learning about her about two products: Fusion drying racks for wine glasses and a set of wine-themed serving ware. Two words: I'm impressed.
The Fusion 8-glass and 16-glass Stemware Racks are smart. You don't want to good fragile wine glasses into a dishwasher. So you wash them by hand and ... what? Immediately dry each and put it away while dinner guests may still be about? You don't have to bother. The Fusion Racks are metal frames with legs that fold flat for storage. But when unfolded, you can hang wine glasses upside down and let them drip dry onto a towel that you'd put below. The 16-glass rack has room in the center to turn a carafe upside down and let it drain as well.
As for the Carol Fountain Nix™ Line, Ms. Nix sent an assortment of these heavy square plates. My entire family and people who have come into the house have oohed and awed. Each is named for some varietal, and the color palette and art work are most pleasing. These would make great plates for a party, or even serving pieces or candy dishes for a dressed-up dinner at home. The racks are also available through Target; Amazon; Wine Enthusiast; Bed, Bath and Beyond; and other outlets."
