Cheers Robert! Thanks for all you gave to the wine world!

Have had the pleasure of meeting`both Robert and Peter Mondavi. Robert was a class act and Peter still is. I’m with you Gary, sign me up for some of those genes.

An impressario to say the least. Many of us in the biz should all thank Mr. Mondavi for our livelihood. Cheers to great vintner and pioneer. And thanks for all that you’ve done for our business.

I will always remember the 2002 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve as one of the greatest wines I’ve ever tasted. You gave a nice tribute to a great man, GV. May he rest in peace.

This is one of those times that I could almost cry. You have your priorities straight and know how to celebrate a wine pioneer’s life. I am humbled.

I raise my glass of Fume Blanc to Sir Robert.

Sante!

I had a milestone to celebrate Monday the 19th and I wanted to do it with an American wine. I had already chosen a 2004 Mondavi Reserve Cabernet when I heard about his passing. I enjoyed this excellent bottle with my family that night and then the next night went to my cellar and picked a bottle of 2005 Mondavi Napa Cabernet and shared it with my wine buddies. Very memorable moments shared with friends and family and Mr. Mondavi’s contribution. I read that the 2004 Reserve was the last vintage under Mondavi’s leadership. I scored the 2004 Reserve a solid 94 in honor of Robert Mondavi’s years dedicated to making American wines among the best in the world.

Nice show Gary.

Thank you Mr. Robert Mondavi for your hard work and dedication to the wine world…………. Cheers and Salut

Great stuff. New watcher and very impressed with this tribute to a pioneer in the wine world that supports many of us.

Nice tribute, the sincerity is heartfelt. Great man and great wines, I might have to break out he ’99 reserve cab. Enjoy.

interestingly enough, Mondavi was the first wine that i became infatuated with. when i heard of his passing i was actually shocked, so big ups to the Mondavi family and all his friends out there in Napa Valley.

great show gary, mott…very fitting. hope you guys can change the wine world like mondavi.

Nicely done Gary.

Nicely done Gary.

Nice episode. I always return to the Robert Mondavi Winery without fail on every trip to Napa. In addition to the consistent quality of the wines, they give without a doubt the most informational and interesting tours in the valley. Even from the afterlife, RM will continue to be a great ambassador of American wine.

Recently enjoyed the ’98 reserve cab and have a bottle of the ’01 reserve cab in the cellar that I’m anxious to pop!

Nicely done GV. I will need to go pick up a nice bottle of Mondavi to pay tribute as well.

cheers!

Very classy way to send Robert off, Gary. I think it’s safe to say that he would have appreciated it…

Well done Gary!

Let’s all raise a glass to Mr. Robert Mondavi. May he rest in peace.

Great Show!!!

Glad to see you back in action GV.

Mr. Mondavi….you will be missed.

way to start the week. i don’t know what to say, but it is quite fitting to have a little mondavi episode.

I will be sure to pick up a bottle of Mondavi (maybe fume blanc) soon in remembrance of the great man!

Nice tribute to a great man!

Gary, you’re the sweetest man alive, and the greatest! I’ve never had a “real” Mondavi, but now I hope to try one (if prices haven’t appreciated too badly on the pre-2004’s—now that R. Mondavi has passed on, some of these bottles that he was steward over may have become collector’s items, and therefore are $$$). Can anyone here recommend a particular vintage/varietal that’s available for under $40?

Very nice show Gary. I havenâ??t read the other comments. Iâ??m probably not saying anything new. I remember when California wines got no respect. I imagine his impact goes beyond California. He set the precedent that allowed the rest of the New World to dare to challenge too.

Cheers!
