Light-bodied white wines like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc generally do not need to be aerated as they are already light and refreshing. However, full-bodied white wines like Chardonnay or Viognier can benefit from aeration, which can bring out their complex flavors and aromas. In general, it is important to use a gentle and gradual aeration method for white wines to ensure that their delicate flavors and aromas do not get overwhelmed.

Microwave on high for about 3-5 minutes per ear, depending on the size and power of your microwave.

Finally, grab the top of the husk and slowly peel it down, which should remove most of the remaining silk.
