From a hose clearance i have come across a 1961 Niersteiner from G W Thoman a 1957 Nuits St Georges From Bouchard Aine & Fils and an "Old London Port" imported by Marshall Taplow Ltd no vintage on the bottle. Anyone know anything about these?

Hi Craig, and welcome to the Wine Board. The Niersteiner is deader than the proverbial door nail. When we lived within shouting distance of Nierstein from '66 to '68 the '61s were over the hill. The Nuits St Georges is a negotiant bottled pinot noir with maybe a .000001% chance of survival. The Port may have some life in it. Pop the cork with a chocolate mousse one night soon.
