Serving Tips
Chill whites but don’t over-ice Chardonnay (too cold mutes aroma). Use medium tulip glasses to focus aromatics.

FAQs
Do I need a wine fridge?
Not essential if you can keep bottles cool, dark and still. A wine fridge helps when room temps swing.
What if the bottle is under screwcap?
Store upright or on its side; the key is temperature stability and darkness.
