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…
As I have said many times before, I find nothing wrong with decanting every bottle of wine you drink –including whites. I feel all young wines should be decanted. Most wines today are made to drink right away or from one to two years of age. A majority of…
There are lots of wine descriptors but only 12 to 14 that are the most common. The reason I am introducing you to them is so that you can learn the ones you like the best. This will help define the wines that you like best. This does not mean you should try every wine you can and then come back to the one that smells and tastes the best to you afterward…
In today’s blog I want to discuss the question: How many grape varieties is too many? But first I want to ask: How many grape varieties, in a blended wine, is too many? Some of the best wines in the world, such as Bordeaux blends and Rhone-style blends from France…
When I first started drinking wine, I had a hard time describing it, and in some cases still do. I am pretty sure way back then I did not do a good job. When one of my wine friends asked if I could taste the red raspberries in the wine, I am pretty sure the answer was “heck no.” Twenty-five years later I am much better at it — although I still have plenty of room to advance myself…
“Cellar Palate” is a condition that can afflict all of us, including winemakers and others in the wine industry. I will admit I do have cellar palate at times. Cellar palate is a condition one gets when they become too accustomed to drinking the same wine all the time. Or in the case of winemakers or vintners, they drink the wines they produce too much…
Back on April 17, 2019, I wrote a blog article on Cabernet Franc (“cab-err-nay-fronk”). Since that time I have become an even bigger fan of Cabernet Franc. So much so I have decided to add a Cab Franc to our line of Glenwood Cellars wines, and we will put it under the Tiedemann label…
From our family to yours, we wish you a safe and happy New Year’s weekend. Raise a glass of your favorite bubbly to celebrate. We look forward to making new memories with you in 2021.
Our entire family at TiedemannOnWines.com wants to wish you and your family a safe and Merry Christmas. What wines are you drinking this holiday?
I have written about wine descriptors in my blog before. Many of us wine drinkers enjoy talking about wine as much as we enjoy drinking it. We describe wine using many different terms such as balanced, aromas, nose, palate and finish. We describe taste with words such as…
If you are a wine oenophile and won the lottery tomorrow what wines would you buy or invest in? Or should you decide to invest in wines as a collector, what wines would be the best to purchase? If you are super rich you can build a collection very quickly, but for everyday collectors like me it takes time…
On November 5 we held our very first Wine Talk & Taste event at LEX 530. What a great evening we had. The theory behind our Wine Talk & Taste event is to educate our guests on the many different wines of the world, eat some delicious food and meet hopefully make new friends…
The entire team at Tiedemann On Wines hopes you stay safe this holiday weekend, and get to enjoy some of your favorite wines in the places that bring you peace. Cheers!
I am a little late reporting to you an exquisite wine dinner we held on Friday, October 23, 2020. We were very fortunate to have Roy D. Chapin IV and his fiancé Maura Clark of 4 Winds Winery fly in from Napa Valley to present their 4 Winds Cabernet Sauvignon…
