Title: Chardonnay California 2006
How long does this last and should it be stored on its' side or standing?
Wine should be stored on it's side to keep the cork from drying out. If the Chardonnay is Vintner's Reserve, enjoy it now.

Title: Chardonay (1997 vintage)
Yesterday, I opened a bottle of chardonnay from 1997 and its color was very rusty/orangy like whisky rather than pale yellow. I know red wines are better as they get older, I'm not sure about white wines. It did not look right and I don't believe it tasted as it should. What are your thoughts? Thank you.
If rusty , it had a poor cork and/or storage condition. It was not correct. The color will change as it ages.
