This technique is often used for white wines like Chardonnay, as it helps to preserve the wine's delicate aromas and flavors.Mentions: Dave Harvey, Pilgrim's Market, Sara Lane, Trader Joe's, Charles Smith, Erica Orr, Matt and Brenda Sparkman, CDA Gourmet, April Howard, Cooper Winery, Madeline Puckette, Wine Folly, Damon Huard, Passing Time, Jeanine Lum, 3rd Bottle, Chris Upchurch, Upchurch Vineyards, DeLille Cellars, Kevin Olsonberg, Gizmo-CDA.Some wines we've enjoyed this week: J.
