  • Glad you’re doing this. Although I side more with the French, Mondavi was a pioneer in pushing the quality of American wines.

    A liitle Robert Mondavi story:

    In the mid 1990’s I had the privilege of participating in the start-up of E&J Gallo’s wholly-owned distributorship in Japan. As part of that process, our sales team called on a very high-end restaurant in Tokyo (Spago’s?) to sell them on the idea of offering Gallo’s newly introduced Sonoma varietals. As the sales team wrapped-up a very promising presentation, they ran into Robert Mondavi himself, arriving at the same restaurant for their presentation. Guess who was the first American wine offered by this restaurant? Although eventually successful, we just couldn’t compete with the personal appearance of Napa’s/California’s/America’s Ambassador of Wine.
