    Very nice tribute. There are very few wineries that can associated with a single person nowadays and not a corporation. We need more Robert Mondavi’s.

  • Dude, I really dug this show. It was a fitting tribute, entertaining, plus I really felt like I learned something.

    I think my fav episodes of WLTV have been then ones where I both learned something and was entertained.

  • Good show Gary, 94 years old is justification enough for a tribute, but coupled with someone who is a household name across the world the it was deserved. Not sure I’ll trust your palate this time on that 100 pointer though!

    Welcome back….

  • Recently stopped by the Mondavi estate in Napa for some tasting. While overly commercialized, the history of the man/brand is staggering. He’ll be missed.
