I wish I could be more helpful, however there are many variables in this situation. To name a couple:
1. The value of the Champagne depends on its storage. It could be worth $100 or more -- or it could be undrinkable, depending on how it has been kept.
2. As to where to list it for sale, wine laws are determined by state, so you would have to consult places that do business in your home state.

People often ask the value of older vintages with the hope of selling one or two bottles. Dom Perignon 1993 is currently available at auction (starting bid) for as low as $110 a bottle, and can be found at retail for up to $400 and more. However, it is very difficult to sell only one bottle to an auction house, and various laws may otherwise limit your ability to sell this or any alcoholic beverage. It might be best to enjoy the Champagne yourself and serve it at a celebration with friends.
