* Zulu War. Memorandum regarding the discovery of the late Prince Imperial's uniform and other effects, the handwritten account by Lieutenant George Villiers and relates to the mission which he was tasked with on 12 September 1879, the 8-page letter incomplete, 17.5 x 11cmQty: (1)Footnote: Written by Lieutenant George Villiers (1847-1892) in London on 29 January 1880, it relates to the death of Napoleon, Prince Imperial, son of Napoleon III (1856-1879). He was killed in a skirmish with the Zulus during the Anglo-Zulu War, 1879. His death sent shockwaves through Europe as he was the last serious dynastic hope for the restoration of the House of Bonaparte to the throne of France. Lieutenant George Villiers was tasked with finding and retrieving the Prince Imperial's uniform, pistol and personal effects, which the Zulus had taken. When he discovered Prince Imperia's body he had eighteen assegai wounds but the Zulus did not dismember his body because Prince Imperial had shown great courage in battle however they did slit his chest open (a common Zulu practice to release the deceased's spirit). A copy of this document is in the South African Museum.

Six bottles of La Rioja Alta S.A., Gran Reserva 904, vintage 1994. Category: Red wine. D.O. Rioja. Labastida. Level: B-C. 75 cl. The Sociedad Vinícola de La Rioja Alta was founded in 1890 in the Barrio de la Estación in Haro. In these early years, the Frenchman Vigier was hired to take charge of the technical management, and soon the winemaking process that we now call classic was mastered. In 1891, the company was renamed La Rioja Alta. Today the company continues to defend the initial idea of its foundation, jealously preserving the creative and enterprising spirit of its founders. It maintains a great respect for its history and philosophy, something that can be seen not only in the way it makes wine, but also in its brands, its close relationship with the city of Haro and its permanent dynamism.
Bottle Artadi Pagos Viejos, Reserva 1995. Category: Red wine. D.O. Rioja. Level: A.

Five bottles MARTÍNEZ LACUESTA, Reserva Especial 1928. Category: Red wine. D.O. Rioja. Level: C-D. A winery founded in 1895, Martínez Lacuesta already specified the Rioja origin of its wines from the very beginning, before the creation of the appellation of origin in 1926.
