- richkoi - 08-12-2004 What is the estimated value of this bottle: Callaway Vinyard & Winery Estate Bottled Vintage 1977 Temecula, California “Sweet Nancy†Chenin Blanc Harvested Late Grown, Vinified and Bottled by Callaway Vinyard & Winery Alcohol 10.7% by volume - winoweenie - 08-13-2004 Hi Rich and welcome to the board.This isn't what you want to hear but this wine is not in the mode of great sauternes and is vinified to drink shortly after bottling. Has gone to the great vinegar-barrel in the sky. WW - Kcwhippet - 08-13-2004 The Sweet Nancy has between 15% and 20% residual sugar and some decent acidity, so there's an outside chance it may still be somewhat drinkable if it's been stored well. Don't hold your breath though. Value is negligible. Interestingly, the current releases are non-vintage. - richkoi - 08-13-2004 Hmmmm...I wondered why it looked more like vinegar than wine (there are also small chunks of stuff floating around in it). Too bad, my Uncle who gave it to me, expected it's value to be high. Thanks, Rich |
