Hey Jim........ Welcome to the wine board!

I tend to think you should have cast another vote or at least asked for a recount. In other words, you should have drunk the stuff when you first got your hands on it!

Guess what cuz, it ain't worth a penny more than when you first got it....... and since it was stored in a closet instead of in a proper wine cellar, it could quite possibly be the worst vinegar you ever tasted in your life by now.

HOWEVER, if that closet was the least bit dark, humid and CHILLY, then you might still have a chance at a good taste.

You'll not have much of a chance at selling it to anyone, unless it is a private sale. Auctions and such usually go for the case lots or more, not for the single bottles.

Do you like oysters? If you do, grab some on the half shell or bake some in the oven or scallop some in a casserole and suck them down with the Champagne (however, I'd make darn sure I had a back-up bottle just in case that cork flops out instead of pops out).
