Thanks for doing this – nice job. Looking forward to that movie – btw…

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

Very nice tribute. Its great to recognize the good people behind great wines.

You handled this with alot of class.

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.

1992 Opus 1 made me the man I am today

Thanks GV for sharing some of the high lights of Mondavi’s legacy in the wine world….

Gary; I must say, Mr. Robert Mondavi was a high class act, and I think you are as well. Thank you for your TV show and efforts.

RIP: Wishing his family all the best and continued success in the wine biz. 94?, yeh, Mott sign me up too.

Excellent tribute to Robert Mondavi! I believe it is time I open my Opus One and drink to this great man. He changed wine in America.

We will also remember Mr. Mondavi, he definitely changed the wine world.

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!

RIP Robert Mondavi, the wine world will remember you fondly for a very, very long time to come.

Thanks Gary for taking time out to pay tribute to this great man.

THANKS! Gary

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.

I raise a glass to Mr. Mondavi. Thank you sir.

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

Drat! We already drank our Opus One. Thanks for the tribute and welcome home.

Had the 04 Opus out of respect the day after his death. Wasn’t that impressed with that vintage the 03 was much better. Nice tribute

I figured I’d come back to this format, instead of just getting the podcast on my iPod, so I could make comments again. Great tribute show Gary. Tastefully and respectfully done.

To all:
After watching this great tribute, check out “Harvests of Joy” by Robert Mondavi (if you haven’t already done so). It is the Mondavi story – told by Mr. Mondavi himself. An excellent read.

Well done. I, too, will sign right now for 94! It is always wonderful to hear about someone like Mr. Mondavi who lived a full life full of positive contributions.

Nice show. We’re still drinking our Mondavi 2000, 2001, 2002 cabernets and loving them.
