From The Archives: Chef Trotter & the Mushroom King

February 22, 2022 / Carl Tiedemann / Food, Life, Wine

Carl has been a little under the weather the last couple of days. So we’ve decided to pull out one of our editor’s favorite early blogs from January 21, 2013, to re-run. This piece is about Carl’s experience in the legendary Chef Charlie Trotter’s kitchen in Chicago. Trotter was an American chef and restaurateur.

2021 California Wine Harvest

February 16, 2022 / Carl Tiedemann / Life, Wine

If there is a low yield harvest, grape prices tend to go up because of the lack of grapes. If the yield is up, grape prices tend to stay steady or go down. This all tends to affect the price of a bottle of wine. The crop was light in 2020 with only 3.4 million tons of wine grapes being crushed…

White Wines

January 19, 2022 / Carl Tiedemann / Wine

As I have mentioned in the past, when I started drinking wine years ago, (I will not tell you how many years that was) I started with white wine. My favorite, back then, was Chablis. Chablis is a dry white wine that has crispness, citrus, flower aromas and flavors of pear and minerality. Even today I like Chablis and continue to drink it when I can…
