- Kcwhippet - 08-18-1999 A friend's mother passed away recently and she's had to deal with the task of sorting through her effects for disposal. She came across a cache of wines in the cellar she said were tucked away in a dark, cold corner all stored on their sides. She gave me the list and asked if any were of any value or even drinkable. Nothing looked promising to me, but I told her I'd check with the experts (that's you guys). Her list is below - and don't laugh too loud when you read it. 1969 Gemva Soave 1969 Gemva Bardolino 1964 Ruffino Riserva Ducale 1960 Gancia Chiani Classico 1977 Tenuta S. Anna Riserva Cabernet 1970 Buitono Chianti Classico Riserva 1950 Salvo Nebbiolo 1980 Biscardo Soave - 4 magnums 1962 Duca Nebbiolo 1980 Bolla Valpolicella 1983 Lancers White Taylor NY State Champagne (1980 written on label) Well, that's her list in toto. BTW, don't even bother to answer on the Bolla or Lancers. I just put it in because they're on the list. In fact, I didn't even bother to put in such things as the Italian Swiss Colony Claret, among a few others.

You can write off the Soaves and Bardolino, these probably died when Jerry Ford was still in office. The Nebbiolos may have made it though. Only one way to find out. |
