Aging Pinot Noir

[TopherM]

I made my first batch of Pinot Noir back in December with the plan of giving it as Christmas presents this December.

I bottle April 15. Once bottled, should I store this wine at room temp or celler temps for aging? My beer fermentation chamber has room for the bottles, and generally stays at 57-60F, so almost perfect cellering temps, but I thought room temp might speed conditioning, much like it does for beer.

Which is correct?

Just keep it somewhere where the temps are constant, a constant temp is more important than the certain temperature, wild swings in temperature can harm the wine. I your case you are aging for such a small amount of time that it will not matter. Room temp will be fine.
