Anyway, I poured a glass from the bottle right out of the fridge and then waited until the temp came up to 65°.

Once the target temp was reached, the second glass was poured from the fridge and placed in the microwave for 15 seconds on high.

Remove wine from microwave and swirl. I think this is an important part to ensure proper temperature distribution in the glass.

Take temp with thermometer. temp was 66°. Almost perfect.

Taste each one and.......

They are almost identical. Almost. I actually think that the one which was in the microwave was a little better. Not sure why but it seemed that the time it took for the other one to come up to temperature naturally had allowed it to get a little too much air.

Note of caution - Be sure that your wineglass which is destined for nukeville does not have metallic etching on it. I almost used a glass that had the name of a winery labelled in gold. That would have been an interesting twist, but one that I did not care to explore today.
