storing wine

[winecollector]

Don't recommend the fridge.... how long are you talkin? Do you have central air? A fridge is not really a good idea. You need proper storage if you intend to keep them any length of time.

As far as your wines, both 66's may still be drinkable, but likely beyond peak. Your 70 BV should be holding up fine. Doubt either of your Martini products are any good.... open them sometime, and hope for the best. Your Clerc Milon should be just fine, and will continue to age further most likely for some while. I'll let winoweenie comment on your 78 Sonoma cab, he knows more about them than I, but 78 was a great year for california cabs, and it may still be hanging in there. But please understand, that all this is based on these wines having proper storage before you acquired them. And, the sooner you get them properly stored, the better. Hope this helps.
