A bottle of 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa's Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, and a 1973 Chardonnay from Rutherford's Chateau Montelena have officially taken their place in American history along side Neil Armstrong's spacesuit and Abraham Lincoln's top hat after being listed in "101 Objects That Made America," compiled by the Smithsonian Institution. Both bottles of wine are on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
