Wine as Investment

[TheEngineer]

Welcome to the board and I'm sure a few more will chime in. I'm never sure that wine is a good investment, especially at the quantities and the storage conditions that you are talking about. People will never pay top dollars for wines with questionable provinence. Most people who sell wines, resell by the case and can guarantee perfect storage conditions.

As for your wines, some seem to be ageable and others less so.

the 1996 Dom looks to be the most durable but again, needs impeccable storage (cold vibrationless, storage), The Cakebread Chardonnay, as with most Chardonnays, are not meant for the long haul,. the others should fall somewhere in between, probably starting with the Cab Franc being shorter again,...

So nice purchase for the money, .. decent price I think, especially with the Dom that alone can sell for $100-%150....but I would consider those just as that and drink up when you get the chance! Enjoy the value.
