very respectable show..way to toast a guy that meant so much to the wine world. Truth be told you didnt even need the wine, but that was a nice touch…As a newbie to the wine world, i got some catch up to play on the Mondavi legacy, but this was a great show and way to start your work now that you are back from vacation..Hope you enjoyed your break and that was a great way to come back with a well deserved tribute

Very nice show, thank you.

Mondavi’s contribution to American wine is probably beyond measure.

For the record, I actually really enjoyed the 2005 Napa Cab. when I had it recently. I also spent a lovely day at the Mondavi winery with my wife and daughters quite recently.

A fine tribute.

I had the pleasure of tasting several Mondavi wines during an Alaskan Cruise event. Probably one of the first places I really started to appreciate subtle differences in similar wines.

I, too, will raise a glass and toast Mr. Mondavi. Salud!

The first Californian wine I’ve ever tried, and probably the first “serious wine” as well (I was still in college). Many thanks Mr. Mondavi.

Good tribute Gary.

Great show. I had the privilege to meet him once, and his kindness and charm were overwhelming. Perhaps the greatest American wine ambassador ever. He will be missed
