Does the glass really make that much of a difference? 2010 dreaming tree cabernet sauvignon.

While having lunch downtown at Pane Vino, I asked for a glass of Cab Sauv. They brought out the 2010 dreaming tree cab sauvignon. This was by all accounts an excellent glass of wine. Good nose, mid palate and nice finish. After searching for awhile, I finally found it at a local liquor store. I would say the nose and mid palate were the same but it did not have quire the same finish...I have since tried the 2011 and am of the same opinion.... I wonder, if the glass made a big difference. I do not have expensive wine glasses. However, I guess I would be surprised if a restaurant did either. At $13 bottle, it is not that expensive, I just wish I could duplicate the finish...

Update: after receiving some nice Riedel wine glasses for xmas, I retried this wine, and it did not make a difference. I was just never able to recreate the experience from the Restaurant.
