From Faith: Some experts insist that getting air into red wine, often from using an expensive aerator or decanter will make the wine taste better. I have some expensive tools that do just that and use them when I have a powerful red. That’s why I snapped to attention when I opened Cook’s Illustrated magazine and saw that an editor was reporting that he used a simple milk frother to buzz his glass of red wine and it was absolutely better.
We had to take this idea around the block.
You can listen to the podcast of us testing this out. We brought in a small hand-held battery-operated milk frother and stuck its small rotating wand into our glasses of red wine. We buzzed. We drank some of the wine before and after buzzing, to compare…

Hi!, This is definitely something to try ! Could you please tell the smooth Bordeaux blend wine that you tried on the show? & where to purchase it?
Thanks a bunch ?

Cindy, oh do we have some new wines for you! On the front page you’ll see a slide listing four “yummy” wines. Click on it to see them. They’re beautiful. Also, this afternoon, I’m writing a little essay about a $40 host gift red wine from Italy that is staggeringly good. Check it out late this afternoon. On Facebook — Faith Middleton Food Schmooze. Cheers, Faith

How long do you froth it

A few quick buzzes should do the trick. The idea is to get a little air in there and move those molecules around.
