Any ideas besides Ebay for selling vintage wine? I have aobut 30.

I am selling my house of 29 years and would like to also sell off my wine I have kept in my wine cellar. It is just to much for me to keep and do not have an ideal location to store these wonderfull wines at my new home. They have been stored with love and I do not want them to go bad.

Here is my list:

2 - Chateauneuf Du Pape / Domaine Durteu 1990 2- Chateau Lynch Bages / Grand Cru Classe, Pauillac 1990 1- Chateau Lynch Bages / Grand Cru Classe, Pauillac 1989 1- Chateau Lynch Bages / Grand Cru Classe, Pauillac 1988 1- Chateau Lynch Bages / Grand Cru Classe, Pauillac 1984 2- Chateau Bel-Air Lagrave / Cru Bourgeois, Moulis-En-Medoc 1983 4- Chateau Boyd-Cantenac / Grand Cru Classe, Margaux 1984 2 - Chateauneuf Du Pape / Domaine Roger Perrin 1986 1 - Chateauneuf Du Pape / Domaine La Roquette 1980 1 - Chateauneuf Du Pape / Domaine La Roquette 1981 2 - Chateauneuf Chauvin / Grand Cru Classe, Saint-Emillion 1986 2 - Chateau Mouton Baronne Philippe / Baron Phiippe-de Rothschild 1987 2 - Chateau Saint-Florin / Bordeaux 1989 3 - Chateau Marquis de Terme / GCC, Margaux 1981 1 - Chateau Le Bon Pasteur / Pomerol, Appellation Pomerol Controlee 1986 1 - Freemark Abbey / Cabernet Bosche 1983

Any ideas?

Thank you, C. S. Lyons

Mark,

Is there a reason why you feel you should answer the question directed to me? I am located in Westport, CT. 79 miles from were Mr. Lipton has put his thumb tack. Reading internet headers is old Mark.

Also to answer the case question. No... these are bottles not cases.

Thank you, CSL

If you were much closer I would have loved to take the Lynch Bages off your hands. Sorry.

Also, I looked at your header...how does Mark L read the header and find Connecticut. I could not find at all?

At least half of these wines should be drunk immediately, if not sooner, eg, all the 81, 83, 84, and 87 Bordeaux. Also, I suspect the 83 Freemark Abbey and the 86 Le Bon Pasteur may be a little past their prime.

I don't know how much you drink wine, but this is not a very large collection. Since much of this wine is becoming geriatric, you might consider locally selling or auctioning the choice bottles (eg Lynch Bages and Chateauneuf du Pape), and drinking the elderly wines (mentioned above). Or you might unload the older wines with your local merchant if (s)he wants them.

If you drink a fair amount of wines with meals and parties, you could make a dent in this collection on your own, or by throwing a party. Just don't expect big money if you decide to sell the older wines, such as Boyd Cantenac 84, Mouton Baron Philippe 87.

Dick, Nothing magical here. I just resolved the IP number found in the NNTP-Posting-Host header record. The host name in this case was quite informative (91.hartford-20rh15-16rt.ct.dial-access.att.net). It doesn't take a genius to figure out where that is likely to be located ;-) although the OP seems to have been mortally offended that it was 80 miles off. Since not all host names are so rich in geographic information, you can also use the traceroute utility to follow the hops that the Internet takes in getting from your computer to theirs: very often the names of the servers involved in the intermediate hops will give you detailed information about their location, which helps place the destination host. This may all seem arcane and pointless, but is very useful when dealing with spammers (and took me all of

30 seconds in this case). Even if you don't know how to find those utilities on your computer, you can use web-based versions:
