I have a bottle of Korbel Natural chanpagne from one of the 2001 presidential inagural balls (Ohio). It has the presidential seal on the front seal and a special back label detailing a breif history of the inaguration. Do you think this is worth any money to some collector? If not, is the champagne still drinkable?

I have not seen the sparkling wine you have, but it seems to me that it has more value as a souvenir rather than as a wine. I am sure a history buff - not a wine collector - would find it a very interesting memento. Unless it has been poorly stored (for example, standing up in a room of your house in bright light), it should be fairly drinkable although not at its best. It seems a shame, however, to pop the cork.
