We have a case of Stag's Leap 1976 Cabernet -- the first American wine to win the blind taste test in France.

Can anyone tell me (or tell me where to find out) how much it is worth? We'd like to sell it.

The tasting was in 1976 so the wine that won was the 1973 Vintage. You're only three years off.

Yes, you are completely right. And the case we have was from 1976 ( not 1973 )... I'm sure that would be worth much more.

Still... any ideas on how to find out how much it is worth? We are not very wine literate and the case was a gift.

According to the Auction Price Database, Zachy's sold a case of 1976 Stag's Leap Cab Sauv for $65 a bottle - $780.

1973 got $127 a bottle.
