Marc, I can't help you with your birth year. You're kinda stuck with it. I've never had one of my birth years wines as it's not a good year and I didn't want to feel like I resembled it. Didn't the Beatles write a song about it, "They say it's you

Wow, what a find. FWIW, my great grandfather Benedetto Cuneo and his wife Maria came to the US from the town of Voghera, which is about 33 miles south of Milan, in 1880. Amazing that a 67 can still be drinkable! dc.
