No one was born knowing everything, even for wine critics and their taste for wine.<br /><br />We were not born in a wine country and all the wine we have are imported. It is an amazing feeling visiting the birth places of the wine that you enjoy, talking to the people behind the wine. You will feel even more connected and your appreciation level elevated the next time you have the same wine after the country and vineyard visit.<br /><br />Cheers!Chef and Sommelierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538966744189984815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609412564506817842.post-86699119627004402352012-10-12T09:54:43.533+08:002012-10-12T09:54:43.533+08:00I admire those who learn the details about wines a...I admire those who learn the details about wines and go thru to visit to the vineyard.

Was going through the old pics of our US trip when I was writing this post and they brought back fond memories.<br /><br />Wine fridge or cellar is exactly what it is... A fridge to store wine. Wine need a constant temperature all year round to mature. High temperature causes the wine to age prematurely, thus losing its flavor and balance. When chilled too cold, the wine also loses its flavor and aromas.<br /><br />The ideal storage temperature is 10-13C for white and 13-16C for red. Before serving, bring the wine out from the fridge and serve/drink them at their optimal serving temperature to get the best nose and flavour. In general, the richer and full-bodied the wine, the higher the temperature it is served.<br /><br />There are quite a lot of information and reference on wine serving temperature.
