Wine crimes

My roommate put two bottles of cabernet-sauvignon in the FRIDGE!!!!! I cannot handle it. It was just wrong. I love my roommate, but we had a little lesson tonight of what wines get chilled and which don't.

Also, Sara and Jon gave me a Christmas card, and I finished the first round of stockings. They kind of look awesome. I will post pictures later (probably on Tuesday).

Isn't that a mortal sin, putting a Cabernet in the fridge? I'm pretty sure you go to hell for that.

it might not have been that much of a sin. reds should be served at cellar temperature, around fifty-one degrees fahrenheit, not at room temperature, which, in your apartment would probably be somewhere in the seventies. and whites should be only slightly cooler in the low to mid forties.
so, an hour in the fridge, pop the cork, let it breathe for 15 minutes, and it's going to taste just about right.
this is wine-o al signing off.

You should go to hell for that, but I still love you Rene. OUr apartment is 66degrees (really at most thanks to a drafty window that will not stay sealed).
