The cap is a scew on. Would this still be good to drink or just a conversation piece. Midwest climate if it matters? never opened Thank you, bmk

It is highly unlikely that this wine is drinkable given all that you have indicated. By itself, six years on top of a kitchen cabinet - the hottest location in a hot room - would be very damaging to a wine. But open the bottle and see what you find!
