Jim -
Here's the invite to the Open Studio party on October 4th. I hope many of
the Thursday group can make it. (Warning - there are going to be a TON of
people there, many in the wine business but many that are not . DON'T BRING
super precious bottles to open, just good affordable wines). Should be a
great night!
Jason

Dear Jason,
Some of you know this and some may not, but my wife Angela
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=9cpj8ecab.0.pcwk8ecab.f8v9mzbab.1&ts=S0280&p=http%3
A%2F%2Fweb.mac.com%2Fangelakallsen%2FAngelaKallsen.com%2FWelcome.html> is a
great painter, and in a previous life I was a photographer. We live a
creative life that we're proud of and want to share with an open house of
wine and art on Thursday October 4th.
Kallsen Studio is the name of our creative space in Northeast Minneapolis,
and on that evening we're opening it up to our friends in the wine world.
Expect an evening of great music, outstanding food, and LOTS of people.
Don't expect a quiet evening, sitting down, or intimate conversation!
You're invited to our open house, which is roughly scheduled for 5pm to 10pm
(or later). Feel free to bring a bottle to share if you wish (nothing too
fancy please) (but nothing too cheap, either!).
The studio is at 1618 Central Avenue Northeast, in the historic Thorpe
building (big white building just north of the railroad tracks, one mile due
north of Surdyk's, Bulldog NE, and Fugaise) ... the same building that
houses Diamonds Coffee Shop.
Our space is Studio 6 in the lower level ... parking on the south side of
the building gets you closest to the studio (enter lower south door and
you're there).
If you can make it, please REPLY AN RSVP to this email ... I need to plan on
how much food to order.
I hope to see many of you there!
Thank you!
Jason Kallsen

Hi all:
in case anyone decides to come at the last minute, Bob, Nicolai, and I are
heading to the Craftsman for dinner before the movie (so we can bring
wine).
happy Sunday to everyone - hope to see y'all at the Jason K party!
-Karin
Hi All:
I'm organizing a combo Eat-and-Watch-a-Movie evening this coming Sunday,
September 30th.
[I'm aware that it's a 'school night,' but figure that persons needing
additional sleep might sneak in a nap on Sunday in preparation. ;-) ]
Food: between 7:30 and 8:30 at the Riverview Wine Bar:
http://www.theriverview.net/ Menu options include antipasti, salad, pizza,
cheese plates, desserts.
Movie at 9:25: PARIS JE T'AIME (http://www.firstlookstudios.com/pjt/)
Riverview Theater
3800 42nd Street, Mpls
http://riverviewtheater.com
The movie, directed by several luminaries, won rave reviews, and is 120
minutes long.
Please let me know whether you're planning on attending (just want an idea
of Size); either via email or phone: 612.825.8526.
I'll ask the Wine bar about bringing in extras, but suspect that's not
encouraged in such a small place. still, one might wear one's largest
trench coat...
hope folks are interested!
-Karin

A friendly reminder to all who may be interested:
Black Diamond Liquors will be holding a benefit, in-store wine tasting on
Saturday, September 29th from 4pm until 7pm. This will be a benefit for the
American Cancer Society. It will work as the last benefit we had: you may
purchase a Riedel Magnum Overture stem for $10 with all profits going toward
the charity (Strongly encouraged) or you may drink out of crummy little
plastic medicine cups. There will also be a silent auction consisting of
some large format bottles and what ever else we can scare up.
This will also be the kick-off for our fall wine sale so shop early and shop
often.
Cheers,
Nicolai Donchenko, Manager
Black Diamond Liquors
Hi All:

Spending
This Glass Is for the Cabernet, That One the Pinot Noir
By AMY CORTESE
YOU.VE mastered the intricacies of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Barossa, and pride yourself on choosing the perfect wine to complement a meal, whether it.s Asian fusion or a hearty hanger steak. Perhaps you even have a storage unit or, if you.re lucky, a cellar, to store wine at the proper temperature. But is your glassware still from the Chianti-in-a-straw-bottle age?
Wine consumption has grown in the United States, along with an appreciation for the character of varietals, from classics like cabernet and chardonnay to less familiar names like Grüeltiner, a peppery Austrian white, and malbec, a mellow red grape from Bordeaux that has played a starring, solo role in Argentine wine.
So it is not all that surprising to see that glassware has followed suit. Today, wineglasses are increasingly designed to showcase the character of specific varietals.
The theory is that the design of the wineglass . from the shape of the bowl and degree of tapering at the rim, to the design of the rim itself . can affect the way someone experiences the aroma, taste and harmony of a wine. The nuances of a complex red wine, for example, might unfold and beguile in the appropriate glass, but turn harsh and closed in another.
Indeed, according to many wine professionals, the right stemware can mean the difference between savoring a luscious wine and feeling shortchanged.
.It really does make a difference,. says Shaun Green, a buyer for K & L Wine Merchants in San Francisco.
The idea of matching stemware to the specific type of wine was pioneered by Riedel, an Austrian company that has been making glass for 250 years. .You have to have the perfect messenger to deliver the wine,. says Maximilian Riedel, president of Riedel Crystal USA.
It was Mr. Riedel.s grandfather Claus who created the first line of wineglasses in different shapes and sizes designed to enhance the character of specific types of wine. In particular, his Sommelier series, made of handblown, unadorned lead crystal, started the trend in the 1970s. They came in different shapes and featured much larger bowls than typical for the time to allow more space for the wine.s aromas to collect.
The Sommelier line, which sells for $60 to $95 a stem, is among the most popular high-end glasses sold today. Max.s father, Georg, popularized the idea further with the introduction of the Vinum line of machine-made glasses (around $20 a stem) and a series of tasting seminars to promote them.
Other glassmakers have followed suit, and a dizzying range of options can be found today in stores, from inexpensive models to fine crystal goblets costing more than $100.
Bottega del Vino Crystal, owned by the restaurant of the same name in Verona, Italy (and more recently New York), sells mouth-blown, lead-free crystal in six styles: for young, medium-bodied and big reds, concentrated wines known as Super Venetians, chardonnay, and sweet wines. Last year the winemaker Robert Mondavi, in collaboration with Waterford Crystal, introduced a line of varietal-specific glasses that sell for $50 a pair. Riedel.s models have proliferated as well, with glasses designed for drinks as diverse as single malt whiskey and Oregon pinot noir, a new glass. In addition to the high-end Sommelier line and the Vinum line, there is a basic line for novices called Ouverture ($10 a stem).
Do wineglasses make such a difference? And if so, how many are enough? I attended a Riedel seminar held recently at the company.s New York showroom to see for myself. It was led by Max Riedel.
We started with a typically full-flavored California chardonnay, from Kendall Jackson. In Riedel.s Vinum Chardonnay glass, notes of tropical fruit wafted up and expanded lusciously in the mouth. We transferred the wine into the Vinum Sauvignon Blanc glass, where it seemed to lose depth. Creamy oak and vanilla overpowered the other flavors. It also seemed unpleasantly tannic.
Finally, we poured the chardonnay into a .joker. glass . those miserly little wineglasses that you can barely fit your nose into. In this glass, alcohol burned on the nose, and the tropical fruit disappeared.
A surprised murmur swept through the room.
.Chardonnay needs a bigger bowl for its depth of flavors and alcohol,. Mr. Riedel said. The Chardonnay glass also directed the flow of wine to the desired part of the tongue, he said, adding, .The first impression is key..
This little test was repeated with a pinot noir and a cabernet sauvignon, both from California, to the same effect. The audience, down to a person, was persuaded.
The seminars have created many believers. .When Riedel first came out with the idea, I thought it was a bit extreme,. said Tim Kopec, wine director at Veritas, a New York restaurant known for its wine list. .But after experiencing it for myself, I fully bought into it.. And the critic Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that the effect of Riedel .glasses on fine wine is profound..
Others dismiss it as more marketing gimmick than science. The notion that a glass can pinpoint the flow of wine to the tongue .is ridiculous,. says Ted Allen, the wine expert and TV personality. Joshua Wesson, chairman and executive wine director of Best Cellars, a chain of stores that specialize in quality wines under $15, believes that a glass can have some influence on wine, but not as much as other factors like temperature. People fall prey to a sort of .placebo effect. when doing a guided tasting like the one I attended, he said.
Even if my taste buds could be believed, there is still the more pragmatic concern of just how many wineglasses one can afford, much less find room for. .The selection of stemware should not be a neurosis-inducing exercise,. Mr. Wesson says. .Most wineglasses, if shaped appropriately, do a fine job.. Even the most ardent advocates say there is a limit.
Many wine pros say that most people can do fine with three sets: a big-bowled basic glass for reds, a smaller-bowled basic for whites, and a Champagne flute (a flute preserves bubbles best). .If you.re really cramped for space, get one general purpose glass and call it a day,. advised Mr. Allen, who is also a spokesman for Robert Mondavi Private Selection.
The important things to look for in a general purpose glass are a decent-size bowl that allows you to swirl the wine and stick your nose in (since smell accounts for much of what we think of as taste), and clear, unembellished glass or crystal.
The answer ultimately comes down to individual tastes and lifestyles. .If you.re an avid wine drinker, making an investment in four or five styles of wineglass is a very small investment that pays many dividends,. Mr. Kopec says. At Veritas, five versatile glasses from Riedel.s Sommelier line handle most of his needs.
For those who have the storage space, like to entertain, or are regularly quaffing Domaine de la RomanéConti, nothing is more elegant than a handblown crystal goblet, like Riedel.s Burgundy Grand Cru model. This generous glass can hold an entire bottle of wine (although experts recommend pouring just four ounces at a time to leave plenty of room to swirl and aerate the wine). When clinked . always at the widest part of bowl, lest they break . they give off a deeply resonant tone that sounds like church bells.
.They really look beautiful,. says Ron Ciavolino, director of wine studies at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York. .But some idiot usually knocks one over and you.re supposed to laugh like you don.t care..

Upcoming Events At Zipp's
Lotsa Fun To Be Had
We have finally finished up on our calendar of events through the end of
the year.
[http://www.zippsliquors.com/calendar.htm] Click here to go to the
calendar page where you can get more information on the events and buy
tickets.
While all the events will be fun and informative there are a couple of
events that I want to draw more attention to:
September 26th, 2007
On Wednesday the 26th of September Chris Rowe, from Old Bridge Cellars-an
importer of Australian wines, will be here to hold a tasting/seminar. Chris
is a super nice guy who tends to put his marketing degree away for these
tastings in favour of more education and fun. We will holding the
seminar/tasting on some of the more obscure of Australia's wines. We
figured that everyone by now has tried lots of Aussie Shiraz and knowing
that there is a whole world of great undiscovered wine we thought that it
would be tons of fun to put some those wines in your glass. We will be
trying things like an aged Merlot, a couple of funky blends, some awesome
dessert wines and to top it all off a Biodynamic wine from one of my
favorite Aussie producers. If you think you know the wines of Australia or
would like to expand your horizons please join Chris and I for this cool
tasting and seminar.
October 20th, 2007
By now most of you have heard me drone on about Portugal and how I went
there in May and how much fun I had and how much I love the wines of
Portugal and blah, blah, blah...well now is my chance to share with you all
some of the great folks that I met over there. Chuck Kanski, of Solo Vino
fame, and I are bringing 5 of the winemakers that we met in Portugal to
Minneapolis for a wine show. I just gotta tell you all that I am near
bursting in anticipation of this event! These are 5 people who are at the
top of their game and if you are not sold on Portugal after meeting these
folks then you have something seriously wrong with you (just kidding of
course)!
October 25th, 2007
Last spring The Seward Co-op and Zipp's put on a wine show at the Cedar
Cultural Center...a good time was had by all! In fact we all had such a
good time that we are doing it again! The Seward will be pulling out all
the stops for food, we will have 15 vendors on hand and they will be
pouring over 150 wines, there's gonna be a raffle and a silent auction and
there's a band and...best of all...all the proceeds go to the Cedar! If you
missed the spring tasting then you gotta come to this one and if you came
to the spring one then you know how much fun this one's gonna be! There
will be some rare wines poured and some of our favorites. Come support the
Cedar and drink some great wine!
Note about the last two tastings: in the calendar you will see a combo
ticket above the panel for the tasting on the 20th...we realize that you
all don't have unlimited funds so we are giving you the chance to get
tickets to both the event on the 20th and the event on the 25th for a lower
price. These tastings will be loads of fun and we would rather have to
cover more of the expense to get you there. Please consider this ticket!

Here is a link to the Combo Ticket.
Fall Wine Sale
October 18th through November 3rd
The fall sale is right around the corner...as my dear old Mom would say
when I wanted a new toy, "start saving your pennies." All wine will be at
least 20% off and lots of wines will be discounted far below that.
All Riedel Glassware 50% Off
We like Riedel glasses but the time has come to reduce our inventory of
what we have. From now until all the glasses are gone the price that is
listed will be given a 50% discount...for example:
The Riedel 'O' glasses usually go for about $16.99 bucks on-line for a set
of two, we sell ours for $12.99....until they are all sold the price for a
set of two is $6.49!
There isn't a better time to get some great wine glasses!
