I have a 1990 Kendall Jackson chardonnay that I bought in 1991 and that move from California to London and back to Washington with me.

Is is still drinkable?

What is its resale value?

Thanks,
Semper

Hi Bill, and welcome aboard! Most Chardonnay's are not meant to be kept for more than a few years. However, if threw all your travels, the wine had proper storage, it should still be drinkable, though it has no resale value. This wine is not going to get any better if you keep it longer, so I suggest you drink up. Good luck!
