Hosting Wine party, HELP!

[Innkeeper]

We decant almost all reds except the very lightest ones just as Beaujolais. We use old glass Ocean Spray bottles or empty Almeden bottles (wine used for cooking or drain cleaning). Reds should be served between 60 and 65 degrees F. If you don't have a cellar or cool closet, and in Texas that's not likely; put them in fridge for about half and hour before decanting. Or decant and put the decanter in the fridge.
