How to enjoy a chard?
I'm going to open a gift bottle of 2000 Stags Leap Chardonnay tonight,
and I'm a complete novice to the grape. A good argument could be made
that I know nothing about wine period. I enjoy certain reds, though
have struggled thus far with the whites. A friend brought it in
straight from Napa, where he lives, and it's been in the fridge for the
past couple of weeks. The plan is to get some sushi and open 'er up
this evening. Two things:
- How long should I let it sit out at room temp before drinking?
- Should I let it breathe during this warming up window?
Regards,
Ben
