Sadly, the wine world lost a legend on May 16th with the passing of Robert Mondavi. Words can’t express the impact that this man had on the wine industry and specifically Napa Valley.
As the e-mails and phone calls circulated with the news of his death, sadness was overcome with the promise to open a bottle of Mondavi to celebrate the life of an icon. Now’s the time to open that special bottle of Robert Mondavi 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon that’s been sitting idle in the wine cellar collecting dust. Or maybe you will pick up a bottle of Mondavi wine tonight at Cellar Collections (Napa locals know) or at Kappy’s (East Coasters). Either way, if you’ve been waiting for the right occasion to celebrate life…this is it!
“Making good wine is a skill, fine wine an art.” —Robert Mondavi
