Kiechel Fine Art was a stop on the Nebraska Passport this year (2023) and we visited around 10:00…read moream on a Wednesday in midMay. We were greeted by the attendant who explained that Kiechel features local and regional artists on the two floors that are open to the public. An extensive collection of Thomas Hart Benson drawings were featured on the second floor showcasing his talent outside of the murals that I was more familiar with. The main floor walls represented local artists. Parking in downtown Lincoln is a challenge, and once you find a spot you then deal with the parking meter. We downloaded the parking app and reserved our space for an hour. We spent the first 15 minutes trying to find the building and resorted to asking a clerk at the optical shop. Kiechel has been operating since 1986 but lacks signage and the building number is difficult to see from any distance. The gallery is worth a stop, but you too may have difficulty finding this little gem among the buildings and traffic in downtown Lincoln. I would recommend downloading the parking app before heading to the capital city.

Really liked the wines here. Apparently the owner doesn't like sweet wines so even their sweetest…read moreisn't all that sweet. With that said, I like sweet wines and still enjoyed pretty much every one that they have. The wife of the owner was serving us and she was very pleasant and talked us up for a good hour which was great. Very cute and personal winery with about 10 wines to try that were excellent. The only one that I didn't love was one meant for steaks and literally tasted like Worcestershire sauce. In any case, great little winery with a classy indoor seating area where the football games are always on.

As we drove down the dirt road and pulled up to the winery/tasting room, the site reminded me of…read moretasting rooms we had visited in the Sierra foothills, a home on one side of the driveway and the winery with attached tasting room on the other. We entered the tasting room to discover that the pourer is the owner and winemaker. We did the "Do it my Way" tasting and let the owner guide us through all the wines he was offering for sale. I found all the wines too sweet for my tastes. Not that it mattered to him as he claimed he basically sold all the wine he makes through the winery sales room. We did buy a bottle of his St Vincent as a gift for a couple that prefers a lighter, sweeter taste to their wines (think a robust rose).

Although the museum is small, at least admission was cheap (free with student I.D.). However,…read moreexhibits relating to actual Nebraska history was lacking and I've been to other state history museums in other states that are better and more relevant to that state's history and the museum felt incomplete. Nebraska can do better than that by providing more exhibits relating to actual Nebraska history instead of just empty spaces not being used or simply an indoor playground for kids. At least the museum only took about an half hour to go through which makes this an option for people who are time-strapped.
