The day that a nation of passionate wine lovers feared, arrived yesterday morning as Robert Mondavi passed away at the age of 94.
It is incalculable to measure his influence. It is not without reason to include him in the same sentence with institutional change agents like Henry Ford and other scions of U.S. -bred leadership and vision that had a global impact.
If the wine industry stands on the shoulders of giants, Mondavi was our giant.
God bless him, his family and the future of wine without his presence.
