Clark, as long as the d'Yquems have been well-cellared - and this is easily determined by looking at level, seepage and color - they should both be very good right now, although the 67 is the star. Most 62 Sauternes are over the hill now, but fortunately d'Yquem is a special case; you should drink it quite soon though. As for the 59 Steinberger BA or TBA, 59 was a great vintage in the Mosel, but I'd have to know more about the wine, specifically the producer. If it's the 59 Steinberger that I've come across, the TBA vastly exceeds the BA in quality, but once again, unless your bottle is from one of the top two or three producers - and I know that all that Gothic script can be a little wearisome to unravel - it should probably be consumed, and enjoyed, now. I find that there's something truly luxuriant about letting the strains of something ravishingly beautiful wash over me as I sip on a divine nectar; personally, I'd drink the 67 with the 7th, the 62 with the 8th, and the TBA with the 9th, but that's just my opinion - each would be delectable with each.
