vintage champagne

Posted by audiopimp69 on November 30, 2008 at 22:03:46:
While cleaning out the estate of a fellow audiophile I happened upon a single unopened bottle of 1959 Piper Heidsieck brut Champagne. It was stored in a closed cabinet in a very cool, dry basement. Bottle is full- no loss at all and absolutely no signs of any seepage. Bottle is dark green so it is difficult to determine the color of the liquid but when held up to a bright it shows the appearance of a perfectly clear light gold tone. Labels are in great shape as is the foil covering the cage. Any idea as to value if any?? Unfortunately I'm in back asswards Pennsyltucky (near Philly) where the government has a stranglehold on any sales of alcoholic beverages so my options for selling may be limited to nonexistent. Plus the usual shipping options either do not allow shipment or require a license to do so- therefore I will probably have to move it locally. Any help is greatly appreciated.
