'Breathing'

Hello all,

Its fun to learn and try wines. Let's keep posting & get some conversations going, ok?

Here's something I've been wondering about: 'letting the wine breathe'. What exactly does this mean? For how long? Which wines? etc, etc.

I ask because last night I opened a Zinfandel I'd never had before (Dancing Bull). It started out super soft (almost water-like) and very plummy - too plummy. Then within about 20 minutes it was more like a proper Zin. I imagine it was because of the breathing thing... So, I have to ask about it!

Thanks for sharing,

-Caroline
