Wines "big word" of the week! What the heck is "Room Temperature?"

Like food, adjust to your personal preference...
45 degrees Most white wines you'll come across including Chenin Blancs, Sauvignon Blancs, Loire Wines, Rieslings and 'everyday' Chardonnays.
50 degrees Full bodied, high quality white wines including Sauternes and rich white Burgundies.  Light red wines like Beaujolais.
58 degrees Red wines including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Bordeaux, Zinfandel, Rhones and Syrah/Shiraz.

"Room Temperature" is reference to an English house in the 1700's and it was pretty darn COLD! Why the cold shoulder? Think about a steak served with the perfect amount of "doneness," 'nuff said!

The EASY WAY TO DO THIS: Follow the 20/20 rule and either put your red in the fridge for 20 minutes or pull out for 20 minutes and enjoy!
