White Wine Temperature

White wines are best drunk at whatever temperature your refrigerated is set at. Right? Well as we all know temperature effects how we taste things. Chilling a wine is going to enhance its crispness, but also mute some of its flavors. Allowing it to warm up a bit can bring out a lot of flavor and aroma, but let it get too warm and it can get flabby or out of balance. Fuller bodied whites like Chardonnay and Viognier can benefit from letting them warm up a bit before serving to enhance all the complexity and flavors. Light dry wines typically are best served cooler to maximize crispness and minimize any funky flavors leaving you with a crisp clean wine. However, this is drinks and preferences we are talking about, so experiment and see what you like! After all, you can also get a white nice and hot, add a few spices, call it mulled and serve it in the tasting room.
