From what I can recall, it was a gift set I received years and years ago. It is a 3 bottle wooden crate, containing an '88, '89 and '92 'Hommage". The '92 is a cab while the '88 & '89 are, I would assume, blends and just called red table wine. They are part of an artists series reserve that Pegase put out with works by famous artists on the label. The '88 has a painting by Jean Dubuffet on the label, the '89 shows a Miro and the '92 is a Sam Francis work. Is there any chance that these are still good and/or drinkable? Frankly, I have no idea how good they were in their heyday and am at a loss as to what they would be like now. They have been kept indoors, at a relatively constant temperature. Your thoughts and opinions are welcomed.

The only way to know, of course, is to open them. Have a "back-up" bottle handy, just in case, and enjoy! Sat Sep 15 17:47:27 -0700 2007 2944873 28122 zin1953
