help: bought 80 bottles of wine - uh oh! how to store for 8 months?

[mellifluous]

hello-
i just bought 20 bottles each of robert mondavi's 2000 coastal chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet and merlot for a wedding in june. i think they were a good deal: a 4 pack with 1 bottle of each for $30. so about $7.50 each...

now, i am worried that it will not keep until next june. i don't know too much about wines. i've read that some wines need to be consumed "now" and some can be "aged."

but how soon is "now?" are we talking in the next few weeks? months? 1 year? 1 year doesn't seem so long when some wines are aged for 20 years...

so, i have a few questions:

even under proper storage conditions, will these wines make it until june 2003?

as i don't have a wine cellar, will storage in my enclosed garage be ok for 8 months? i live in the san francisco bay area, so our weather is pretty moderate. the *coldest* it usually gets in the dead of winter is low 40's, so i don't imagine the garage would ever drop below 50 degrees...

is the price i got even worth it to try to store these bottles? or do you think i could get a similiar bargain later on and just return the whole lot and save myself the worry of having bad wine on my hands?

any help/advice at all would be sooooooo appreciated! and if you have any comments on the actual wine themselves, that would be nice too! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

thanks so much!!
