A reader has a cognac bottle at home VSOP Jerome Napoleon Cognac.
The bottle is located in San Diego, CA. “My maternal grandmother gave it to my mother who has had it for at least 50 years. My grandmother died in 1980 and we don’t know how long she had it before then. It’s been kept in a dark cabinet all these years and as my parents are in their 80s now, they’ve started to explore items to hand down, give away, sell, etc. Thanks!”
