- starpenny1 - 10-03-2004
I have a Bottle of Sterling Napa Valley Table Wine 1991 Estate Bottled. Is it of any value? I do not drink wine, unless it is a wine cooler.
I would like to know if someone else would like to buy and keep Bottle of unopened wine. I have had it for years in a good place. There are no floaters in the bottle and it looks as it did when I brought it home.
Please, can you help me. It is a shame for this to go to waste here in my house. If it is not worth anything, I will give it to my Husband to cook with.
Thank you,
StarPenny1@sbcglobal.net

Hi Star, and welcome to the Wine Board. Are you sure there are no other descriptions of the wine on the bottle. It should state what kind of wine it it, e.g. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, etc.

Hi!
Thank you for the fast reply.
It says a lot of things on the bottle. 1991 Sterling Red. Grown, Produced & Bottled by Sterling Vineyards, Calistoga, California
Alcohol 12.2% By Volume
There is a Story on the back.:
One of the great wineries of California, Sterling Vineyards is located high atop a hill near the town of Calistoga. Sterling Vineyards controlled all phases of viticulture and vinification in the creation of this wine. That continuum, defined as Estate Bottling, assures the supply of quality greapes farmed according to our goals and standards.
I see these lovely vineyards, all the time. This bottle was a gift. But I do not realy drink or collect wine, so it is just something I have to store in a cold dark place.

Hi Starpenny and welcome to the board.IMHO this was a meritage made by Sterling before the term was in widespread use. If I'm not mistaken the wine was made by Ric Foreman when he was their winemaker. Single bottlings have very little value but instead of cooking with the wine why not open it and you anf hubby try it with a nice prime rib or steak? WW

Thank you so much for the info. I never know what wine to buy. I like sweet wine, not sour, so I don't buy it. My Grampa was a big wine drinker. He alwise had a gallon of wine with him. He had the red cheeks to show for it. But he was healthy as a horse.
Thank you again for you help,
