@David L I had some Kalin chards from the 80s recently and they were (2/3) still going strong. The Vineyard for this Kalin chard is right down the street from me but they have no winery. Lucky enough, the upscale Chinese restaurant downtown has the Kalin wines by the glass all the time.

Santa Barbara Cabernet Sauvignon 1980

1980 Kalin cab from Santa Barbara...anyone know what vineyard??? Perfectly stored bottle. Balanced, with minimal tertiary aromas but what is there has tobacco and menthol. Fruit still very present. Nice wine that came home to SB County. — 8 years ago

I'm a sucker for Kalin. Well stored, I think they last forever, both the reds and whites.

The Monkey White Rhone Blend 2010
