When Charity Wines Taste Best

A yearly wine book called When Wines Taste Best is based on the idea of biodynamics

, the term for how lunar cycles supposedly affect everything. Some people are not ready to subscribe to the idea that wine is a living organism, and that tidal pulls affect the water in every living thing, meaning there are better and worse days to drink wine for optimum flavor. Hint: you should dismiss this as the hokum it is unless you're in the market for some superstitious fun. For those skeptics, there are plenty of other ways to figure out when your California wines will perform best. From the right food pairings for charity wines at events to when to crack open your prized bottle to even getting the right temperature in your cellar and chiller, there are a number of basic details that will influence how good a wine tastes in your mouth.

It's worth remembering that unless you do something horribly wrong, like combining a light, sweet, fruity dessert wine with steak and potatoes, the enjoyment difference these choices leverage are only worth a few percentage points for most wine drinkers. In other words, if your delicious shiraz is a few degrees too warm or you let it sit a year instead of 10 months, you're not going to spit it out unless you are an experienced enough wine connoisseur that you'd never make these mistakes. You'll still enjoy it fine.

Aging wine is the first topic to get out of the way. Something like less than 10% of all wines are good enough and have the right chemical components to benefit from cellaring and aging. Most are best consumed within a year or two of corking. So unless you spend a lot on a bottle or are looking for bottles specifically for the purpose of cellaring, you don't need to worry about aging a wine for it to taste its best. You can always ask the wine cellar a quick question to be sure.

The most important component for getting your California wines to taste their best is what you're doing when you enjoy them. This includes what food you pair them with and if you attempt basic wine tasting techniques like smelling the wine before you taste, or swirling it to get some air into it with a red. The most basic elements of wine pairing and maximizing wine taste are both easy to learn and easy to do, and they let you create and recreates the scenarios in which wine can taste its best.

That's really it. The simple truth is that unless you are a wine expert or trying to become one, if your goal is just to enjoy your California wines by drinking them when they taste the best, you don't have to do a lot go get them there. You just have to follow these basic steps and take a few specific measures to maximize your wines.
