Comments on: Dear Sheri, I have a bottle of 1989 La Grande Dame Champagne – a product of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin – that I acquired in 1996. Awaiting an appropriate occasion to drink it, I am planning to open it within the next week. The bottle has been stored on its side in the original box at room temperature. What should I expect of its condition? Will it even be drinkable?

I have been saving it for my daughter's 21st birthday (March, 2012). It has been refrigerated. In your opinion, will it be ok? Thanks. Hi Sheri:

I also have a bottle that has been stored on it's side, in a slightly damp 55 degree space with no sunlight for the past 8 years. My question is, how long will it last? Should I drink it now or can it continue to store? Any insight would be deeply appreciated. Best Regards, Michael Grand Rapids, MI Hi Sheri,
