Stored my Schwalbe Winter Studded Road Tire 700c x 35mm standing up leaning against a wall for 7 months. Installed today. Bulge at valve. Deflated and reinflated. Bulge again. Thoughts? THANKS!!!!

Broken cord in the tire?
Hard to say without a photo. It would be certainly worth removing tire and tube and starting the process over. Mark the area of the bulge, place the tire on in a different position (rotate it relative to the valve location on the rim). If the bulge is in the same point on the tire I would say the tire is bad.
Thanks to everyone's input. I am relieved to report that the tire is not bad and that the problem was a defective tube. Ready for winter riding!
Great news. Those Marathons are expensive, but definitely worth the money.
They were the bomb last year. It was like a Bing Crosby movie gliding silently down the icy Prairie Path with snow falling and the Luxos B cutting a beam through the blanket of darkness.
A bad tube cannot cause the tire to bulge, you did not have the bead seated.
