My Dad has kept a case each of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from both the 1980 and 1983 vintages. So we've got a total of 4 cases of really old wine that has been sitting in the garage for over 20 years. We live in southern California so the temp in the garage probably ranges from 40-70 degrees throughout the year.
My dad claims that this stuff is very valuable and plans on opening them for the reception for my brother's wedding, he was born in 1980. I am little wary of drinking this wine because it wasn't stored in any temperature controlled environment and basically left to gather dust in our garage for the past 20 + years. Is this stuff still drinkable or is it just paint thinner by now?
