I hope I didn't commit a faux pas...

Elmer,

As I explain to my customers and waitstaff, wine (and beer for that matter) are often too cold here in the US. I equate it to ice cream. Really cold ice cream doesn't taste like anything. When you mush it up - actually warming it up - all of the flavors come out.

If you find that your wine is too cold, cup the glass between your hands and swirl it around for a few minutes. You will feel the cold being transferred from the glass to your hands. After several minutes the wine will taste different.
