I'm serving Yellow Tail Chardonnay white wine with dinner tonight. Is it best to serve white wine chilled from the refrigerator? or room temp?
 
I used to believe it had to be really cold straight out of the fridge. Until a family member who knows about these things told me not to put the bottle back in the fridge after I poured a glass one night. She explained that chardonnay was best to be enjoyed cooler than room temp, but a bit warmer than right out of the fridge. That way you can taste the flavors and aromas more. And she was right! Amazing amount of difference as the chardonnay warmed a bit. So I'd say take it out of the fridge and uncork it about 20 minutes before serving and set it out on the counter or table.

And have one cold glass right away, then try it 20-30 minutes later. Big difference!
