Great tribute, and welcome back. Looking forward to some new eps. this week!

Many thanks to Gary V for doing a tribute show, and thanks to Robert Mondavi for his generous contributions to my school, UC Davis! You have done great things for the industry, and aspiring winemakers.

Great tribute. I drink mondovi wine all the time. I like the california cab sauv. Great everyday drinking and doesn’t bust the bank. I also have enjoyed his Napa Valley cabs. He will be missed.

nice trib GV, No Doubt about this mans legacy!

Yaaaaaay! You’re back! Glad to hear you had a good time.

Great show — I completely agree with you. If I would be so lucky to live to 94 years old and have as much as a small fraction of an impact on any world, let alone the wine world, as did Robert Mondavi, I would consider myself to have had an extremely awesome life! Yet, still, I am sad he’s gone.

SF TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (grrr I won’t be there…. Sacramento!)

God bless you Bob…thanks for all that you did to put California on the wine map. If it wasn’t for you and your vision, many of us here in the Golden State and every wine producing state would not be in the industry.

Glad you are back! Thanks for taping some shows for us to watch while you were gone! Where would Cali wines be if it were not for Robert Mondavi?!

What can I say. 7 years ago, I entered this wine world for the first time after my encounter with my first Robert Mondavi wine. And now, he is gone. I feel sad. I have reserved a 2003 Mondavi Cab in my cellar, and I have been planning to enjoy it someday to recall the memory of my first step in this wine world with the help and lead by Mr. Robert Mondavi. I think, it is time. Not the best time, but the…

Gary, Thank you for the show and letting me know the bad news. I am busy with an exhibition in Nation Art Museum of China. All the best, to you and all the people I admire.

Classy Gary, very classy. great subdued show, as it should be.
That movie sounds like a must see!! 😉

Great tribute – very classy. Well done.

It was a dream come true for me to visit Napa Valley last year with my wife, and we chose to visit the Robert Mondavi Winery. Needless to say, we were not disappointed. We had a wonderful tour, learned a great deal about Mr. Mondavi, and tasted some great wines. One of those wines was a 1998 Cab Sauv Reserve, and it was spectacular. Thanks for the tribute, Gary. His wines are great, but his impact on the wine world was and still is legendary.

Great one GV! Very classy and a great tribute.

GV,
Thanks for the tribute. My sentiments exactly.
Here’s to Robert Mondavi! A true icon of the Global wine industry.

Nice ep. I met him once, shook his hand and talked for a minute. GOOD guy!

Thanks Robert!

Great Legend of the Wine World. His stature will do nothing but grow as the world grows to love the product he elevated to new heights. Godspeed RM. Blessings to his family and friends who are grieving.

Gary you nailed it ! So glad that you paid your respects and shared them with all of us following your passion for wine. I wish you a awesome trip to the west coast and I will be promoting all your efforts. Have a great time in S.F. Enjoy the vibe of the city we love !!!!

crazy irony is that the night before Mr. Mondavi passed i had a walla walla vs. napa cabernet blind tasting with some friends. no one discussed what they were bringing, half were assigned napa and half walla walla. when unveiled all but one of the napas were the bottle you tasted for todays tribute show. never seen such a thing at one of these tastings before, and the people who attended aren’t the type to usually reach for this wine. the following morning, first piece of news i read was that he had passed. i was at that moment convinced of the power of his presence…in ways much beyond ‘building a brand’ or anything so obvious as that.

Robert Mondavi made wine.
I didn’t know him but I’ve visited all the wineries on the Connecticut wine trail and did meet most of the wine makers here. They were all unique individuals. Each one of a kind.
Looking foreword to new film BOTTLESHOCK.
SIDEWAYS was an oldy but goody and can be seen free with short commercial at the beginning at hulu dot com

Couldn’t agree w/ u more. RM was a legend in the field. Ever try the Continuum – the winery RM and son started after they sold Mondavi?

Well said.

RM Pinot Noir was the first red wine I bought with any regularity and was the begining of my appreciation for red wines. Bon Voyage RM.

Mondavi was a pioneer indeed. I am a big fan of his 2001 reserve cab. I believe — correct me if I am wrong — that his family was in turmoil over the years, which is a shame if true, however, I hope that he was able to make peace in his later years.

Nice tribute show GV. I’m sure the Mondavis appreciate it.

Very nice Gary……..!!!!

One day you’ll be thought of as a legend and icon I’m sure just like Robert Mondovi you’ll make an impact in millions of peoples lives.

You have in mine.

You’re a good man Charlie Brown!!!!!!

Keep up the good work my man.

Love & Respect,

Glen
