Need help identifying Year of Wine

[Innkeeper]

Hi Siobhan, and welcome to the Wine Board. Almaden Mountain White Chablis is or was a cheap blend of field grapes, that sells or sold for very little and is or was meant to be consumed immediately. Older bottles have no value except remotely possibly as a collector's item. If it is one that comes in the widemouth shape, the empty bottle makes a nice decanter.

Californian producers such as Almaden are under increasing pressure to cease naming their cheap table wines after distinguished European wine districts. "Real" Chablis comes from the Chablis District of Northern Burgundy in France. It is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, grown in a tough growing area making a wines frequently described as flinty or steely. These wines bear no resemblence to Mountain Chablis from California.
