How to Chill Wine: California-Style

“Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.” — Sam Keen

When the San Diego Wine Mafia gets together on hot summer days we gravitate to the unheated pool to refresh and cool off. And what better way to keep a pinot noir at a respectable drinking temperature than to immerse in the shallow end of the pool? Come on in, the waters fine! (And the wine? Forgetaboutit.)

Ha-ha I remember that day, that pool was ice-cold, but refreshing on a hot day!

“Refreshing” is a great euphemism.
But it was perfect to get a little chill on the vino!
