Question
Dear Paul,
Thank you for your response I was very impressed with your speed in responding and your knowledge, I have found out just a little bit more regarding the 1895 bottle.  It also has the words XIII Exposition de Bordeaux, Marques de Riscal let me know if that helps at all thanks for your time and knowledge.

Hi Kim:

That's better! Marques de Riscal is a nice wine from the Rioja region of Spain.  Current bottles sell for about $2- to $35 dollars, depending on whether they are the regular wine or the reserva.  But without knowing the vintage of this bottle, it's hard to say what it is worth.  If it is more than 20 years old, it is probably past its prime as well.  You might look for the word "cosecha" on the bottle--that's Spanish for "vintage" and if you canfind that, then we'll know how old the bottle is.
