(AP) 19th century wine has been unearthed in the cellar of a Revolutionamansion here, but an expert ry-era says it must be examined to determine whether it is priceless treasure or rare, dust. ? hs i H A, ; Alex McNally, international wine manager at Heublein Inc., said he was astounded when he first squeezed past the jammed doors of the musty wine Ten Rroeck cellar of the Mansion, now owned by the Albany County Historical Association. There he found 30 unopened cases of 26 bottles each. Among them were such rarities as Chateau 1875, Chateau Lafite 1868 and 1870 and Chambertin 1875 It has not been determined who put the cache in the cellar or when it was put there. McNally described the cache as the largest and most important collection of 19th century, golden age vintages Mouton-Rothschil- t' ' XZA d Alexander McNally moves with care while opening wine bottle. 100-year-o- 4UHMHMk ld ever discovered in America He likened the discovery to the uncovering of King Tutankhamen's tomb in the 1920s and said the wine had great potential value The cache was to be shipped to Heublein's wine warehouse in East Hartford, Conn., for further inspection. The best of the collection will be offered for sale at Heublein's national auction of rare wines next May in Atlanta, McNally said. Proceeds from the sale will he used to continue restoration of the mansion, which was built in 1797 for Abraham Ten Rroeck, a Revolutionary War general from Albany's Dutch community. Although the historical group has owned the mansion since 1948, association members said the door to the wine cellar remained locked and forgotten because one of the societys board members, Col. William Hannay, had resisted attempts to disturb its contents. Hannay died last November. The cases will he opened at Heub-lein- s East Hartford facility, and each bottle will he examined individually, McNally said.
