No restaurant provides the haunting
Halloween experience of the Grill.

Our server Nina quickly handed us a
card with that evening’s specials, and it
was immediately obvious we had hit the
October trifecta. On the list were the
stone crab claws – either as an appetizer
or an entrée – as well as local pompano.

I decided to go with the crab
claws as dinner ($29 for ¾ of a
pound, $39 for 1 ¼ pounds) and
my husband ordered the broiled
pompano ($32).

For starters, we shared an or-
der of fresh New England calamari
($11). The lightly tempura fried cala-
mari served over mixed greens with a
firecracker sauce were a great starter.

The stone crab claws, chilled and
cracked, were everything I had been

This doesn’t mean you need to in-
vest in expensive crystal stemware, or
a variety of differently shaped glasses.
“You don’t really need any other type
of wine glass beyond an all-purpose
glass,” writes Maryse Chevriere, a som-
melier, in her new book, “Acquisitive
the Grape: Demystifying Grape Variet-
ies to Help You Discover the Wines You
Love.”

If you are new to wine, or consid-
ering a gift to someone who is, what
should you look for in an all-purpose
glass? Chevriere lays out a few basic
criteria.

“If you only get to pick one, a clear,
thin-lipped, ‘cut rim’ all-purpose glass
should be it,” she writes, describing it
as “a stemmed glass with a U-shaped
bowl that is wider at the stem and nar-
rows slightly as it gets up to the rim.”

She adds: “It’s the wine glass equiva-
lent of the perfect pair of jeans.”

That U-shaped bowl is often called a
tulip, because of its resemblance to the
flower. The narrower rim focuses the
aroma and guides the wine to your pal-
ate rather than down your shirt. The
thin “cut rim” is favored over a thicker
“rolled rim” for the same reason.

Different sizes, with glasses for white
wines smaller than those for reds,
evolved for a reason. White wines, such
as riesling and sauvignon blanc, tend
to be acidic, and a smaller, narrower
tulip will direct them toward the tip of
your tongue, while a bigger, wider glass
will direct fleshier, tannic reds, such as
cabernet sauvignon, to the middle of
your palate – all in the hopes of balanc-
ing the wine and showing it at its best.

Those bigger glasses may be ideal as
well for full-bodied white wines, such
as oaky chardonnay or skin-fermented
“orange” wines.

Some stemware is marketed as all-
purpose. “The One,” by master som-
melier Andrea Robinson, is actually
