IMO red wine should feel cool to your lips.

DITTO!
Indeed I'll often chill just a little lower than desired, allowing the wine to warm and open up as we drink it.

Victor de la Serna wrote:All of the basic, unoaked, grenache-based wines from eastern Spain have been traditionally drunk chilled. It makes sense. It's hot there in the summer, grenache is not a tannic grape, and it's also a high-alcohol wine, so chilling it helps a lot...

I'm currently surveying my cellar for chilling candidates, and have already loaded a few bojo's into the case I plan to take as luggage. Otherwise it's mostly going to be champers. I'm wondering what else might be interesting to take along--with refrigeration, I'm thinking big fruit, low tannins, right?

Paul B. wrote:I tend to chill Foch down in the summer months; its low-tannin / tart-acid profile lends itself well to this technique. Oddly enough, I also get interesting cocoa aromas in Foch served cold ... could be the oak, when applicable - but who knows?
