Opened bottle of 1934 Schroder & Schyler - fsupl5@aol.com - 06-22-2016
While cleaning out my late grandfather's cellar, I came across this old and opened bottle of Sauternes. The label says 1934. Other writings on the label are "Maison fondee en 1739", "Mis en bouteille dans nos caves", "Negociants Bordeaux France". There is a stamp on the upper left hand corner of the label stating that the wine was purchased at J.D. Krueger, 123 So. Ferry St., Schenectady, NY. I'm sure that address is no longer valid due to roads being built but this was in the old Stockade area of Historic Schenectady, NY.
The contents is very dark and the cork is covered in mold.
Just wondering if the bottle itself was of any value.
I can take a picture of it if anybody's interested. I know one thing...
I don't plan to sample the contents!
