Quick wine question - chardonnay!

[ChrisnSteph]

Do I serve Chardonnay at room temp or chilled? I tried to google the answer but I need to find out asap!

chilled!

Chilled!

Whites should almost always be chilled, reds should almost always be room temp.

DEFINITELY chilled!

Or if you want to be like one of my mom's friends, serve it with ice

I think reds are the only ones served at room temp... right?

 

[ChrisnSteph]

Thank you!

Chilled! If you need to chill it quickly, stick it in an ice bucket or the sink. Fill with ice and cold water and twist the bottle back and forth in the ice bath. This is probably something everyone knows about, but for some reason it didn't occur to me until recently that adding water to the ice would speed cooling)

Unless you are my MIL and like the "bite" serve it chilled. It shouldn't be too cold though. Chardonnay should be just below cellar temperature...which I think is 65 degrees. If you have it in the refrigerator for an hour or the freezer for a half hour, it will probably be the right temperature.
