    How do I properly care for a bottle of 1959 Grand vin De Château Latour
    My grandparents were given a bottle of wine on the day I was born in 1983. We were going to open it for the holidays this year but before we did I went on the internet for some brief information and found it to be a rare bottle of wine. We are going to wait and open it on my wedding day. My question is how do I properly care for it? Will it matter now that it has likely not been properly cared for previously? The bottle of wine is a 1959 Château Latour Grand Vin (France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac) I appreciate any advice.

    Thank you
    Jason

    Honestly this will be passed it's best, but still drinkable assume proper storage.
    While it is indeed extremely rare, unless it has be properly cellared with documented providence is actual value will be greatly reduced.

    My advice, crack it open and enjoy a small piece of history..

Artist--somewhere between 1959 and 1962 [ 9 Answers ]

There are many groups that sang "Gloria." One of my favorites is the Cadillacs. However, there was another version--late 50's or very early '60's---the same words, BUT the lead singer cries in the middle of it. Can anyone tell me the artist---most likely a group. Thank you.
