Lucas was recently contacted by wine collector, Phillip Pasqualino in Oakland, about a unique find. After responding to an ad on Craigslist about 50 bottles of “old wine” someone had been storing, Phillip drove to San Ramon to pick up the load. The Craigslist poster ended up just giving him the bottles for the trouble of driving out to his home.

Here is one of the bottles he found:

1984 Zin

We cannot wait to hear how the wine faired after all this time. This happens to be the year I was born, so in my mind, it was a good year. According to the Decanter Vintage Guide, 1984 was rated 4 out of 5 stars, and wines from this vintage should be opened now. What good timing for Phillip!
