The event will commerate the 30th anniversary of the “tasting that changed the world” in which the surprising showing of the American wines shocked the world of wine.

The 1973 Stag Leap Cabernet Sauvignon stood first in the original tasting which was judged by a panel of mostly French wine experts. Read more about the original tasting. Maybe sometime in the future, there will bea “Judgement of India tasting”.
