We know these times are troubling. We hope you are staying home where it’s safe. We hope you are enjoying catching up on your reading, binge-watching TV shows and movies with your loved ones, and opening up some of those more special bottles of wine to enjoy. Stay safe friends…
In the last 24 months there have been some major changes in the wine industry. If you are a wine drinker some of these changes might affect you and me in the coming year. In 2018 wine sales in the U.S. peaked after 25 years of annual growth. Sales figures are being released now for 2019 which show wine sales were down 0.9% over 2018 sales…
Last week I shared information on a few wines that I enjoyed at Herb Krumsick’s Annual Real Estate Forecast and Hunt I attended in Fall River, Kansas. This week I want to talk about another group of wines I also enjoyed thanks to good friend Gregg Cook who shared some of his amazing collection at the Hunt…
Over the past several years I have been writing my blog I am sure I have bored you with some of the details of Herb Krumsick’s Annual Real Estate Forecast and Hunt I attend in Fall River, Kansas. But it’s that time again and I tried some great wines that I really wanted to talk […]
Carl is traveling this week so we thought we would remind everyone that despite the dismal weather most of the country is seeing, the sun is not far away…
There are a lot of things I do right with wine and a couple of things I struggle with. One struggle at the top of my list is pairing wine and cheese. For the life of me I cannot figure out why I have such a tough time doing it. Not long ago I made a commitment to myself…
A good friend and wine pal was on a trip in the south not long ago and came upon a wine called Norton which is a full-bodied dry red wine. Norton is produced by Les Bourgeois Vineyards in Rocheport, Missouri. It is made from 100% Norton grapes. The Norton grape has a very interesting history…
A couple days ago I was opening a bottle of wine and snapped the cork off half way out of the bottle. It wasn’t necessarily the fault of the cork as much as it was my fault. I was in a hurry and didn’t keep my waiters corkscrew opener straight as I was pulling the cork out. If you pull the cork on an angle, especially in older wines, you’ll break the cork more times than not. After being grumpy about the situation for a while it made me think about corks vs screw caps…
Join Adler and I in celebrating the notable, highly anticipated, release of our 2016 Tiedemann Adler’s Blend Red Wine from Glenwood Cellars Wines. We will be hosting some tastings of this newly debuted wine at…
Not long-ago Mrs. Tiedemann and I were out on a dinner date, at a restaurant with a nice wine list. It was a busy evening at the restaurant and we were next to a table of eight people. As it happens (I am sure you all have experienced this at some point), there was a fellow at the table next to us…
I have mentioned Kapcsandy wines in the past. They are simply amazing wines. As I have stated before, long ago I was reading a copy of Food and Wine magazine and came across an article on the future “cult wines” of Napa Valley. There was a list of six wineries and Kapcsandy was one of the six. Several days after that I went to their website…

With Christmas Eve and Christmas Day approaching quickly you’ll have plenty of opportunities to pop a couple corks, be it with friends or family. As I did at Thanksgiving, I am going to suggest some wines for Christmas…
In this week’s blog I want to introduce you to the seventh most grown grape throughout the globe. Syrah (si-ra) is also known as Shiraz in Australia and is a dark-skinned grape that is used primarily to produce red wine. It is used as a single varietal and as a blend…
If you read my blog last week on what wines to serve on Thanksgiving, you’ll know that one of my recommendations was to pour a Zinfandel red wine. Over the past years I have become quite fond of Zinfandel red wine. In fact Zinfandel is the primary blend in my Adler’s Blend red wine that I produce in Napa Valley…
