I have written about our 530 Select Wine Club in past wine blog articles. Today, I want to bring you up to date on the club and share our successes with you. Before we discuss the 530 Select Wine Club let us take a moment and answer the question: Are wine clubs really worth it? These are the benefits, I feel, of belonging to a wine club…
Mrs. Tiedemann and I are very pleased to inform everyone that we have received our construction and excise permits for the 530 Wine Bar. Further, construction is now underway. I have written before about this exciting new venture, and as we get further into the project, Emilie and I have gotten even more excited about the project…
Happy Memorial Day weekend from the entire TiedemannOnWines.com family. Have a safe and wonderful long weekend. Cheers!
I will be the first to admit that I have over-served myself when having a good time and drinking wine in my all my years of drinking! Most people I know have been in the same position. I have heard wine drinkers say they can drink a bottle, or two. Well maybe they can…
Six months ago, a good wine friend and I were sampling my 2017 Glenwood Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon that is aging for future release. At that point in time, it was showing very well and I was pleased with how it was aging. A few weeks back I tasted it again…
From the entire TiedemannOnWines.com family, we hope you have a great Mother’s Day weekend.
Does wine have sugar in it? Yes, there is a certain amount of sugar in all wines. The winemaker will determine just how much sugar there is. The type of wine makes a difference as to the sugar level, as well. There are several factors that contribute to the sugar level in wine…
I was reading the “Notes and Queries” section of Decanter magazine a couple of weeks back and found where another reader was asking the question, “How much wine per vine?” I have never paid much attention to that question before, although it is an important one. Especially if you are a grower or a vineyard […]
I truly do like most wines. However, there are some wines I favor over others. Zinfandel happens to be one of those wines. The Zinfandel grape can be used to make big, bold, red wines or the simple rosé “white zin.” Most of the time white zin is an…
At our last Wine and Dinner Club event, we had, by mistake, opened way more bottles of wine than we could possibly use that evening. The big question became what do we do with all of the bottles of wine that were opened? After they were re-corked, we sold them at a large discount to the attendees. That action then triggered the next questions: “How long does an open bottle of wine last?”
The whole team at TiedemannOnWines.com wishes you and your family a safe and Happy Easter weekend!
In my October 3, 2018, I discussed Spanish Rioja (re-oh-ha) wines. At a lunch meeting several weeks ago with LEX 530 Wine Director Stan Minden and Chris Oliver, General Manager at Café Navarre, we tasted a couple of bottles of different Rioja to discuss the wine for this article.
I am a big wine description reader…especially when it is the first time I am tasting a wine. Often, I become just a little frustrated when I cannot taste what I am expecting after reading the tasting notes. This makes learning about wine a little more difficult…
Most of us “everyday wine drinkers” drink wines from California and generally spend between $15.00 and $60.00 on a bottle of wine. We also know that some expensive bottles of wine can cost thousands of dollars per bottle…
Mrs. Tiedemann and I have come up with another new project that we feel will benefit our community. We are currently in the middle of designing and building a wine bar as part of our LEX 530 Event Center. At the 530 Wine Bar it is always after 5 o’clock. The bar will be next to and connected to our LEX 530 private dining room…
