Cheers to man who did so much for the American wine industry. On a personal note, Mondavi's Early 1990s Napa Merlot and Cab were some of the first good quality wines that I ever tasted.

Perhaps I'll open my lone 1990 Mondavi Reserve Cabernet this weekend to celebrate his life and all he has done for wine in the US.
Laube did write a very nice article. Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever. - Aristophanes foodandwineblog.com |

Wow indeed!!! Very sad day. Here's to a pioneer that so many of us are indebted to.
I have a couple of 1987 Mondavi Reserves hanging out, no better time to crack one of them than this weekend. Vaya con dios! -IB Ban Trolls. |

DRAB, No disrespect, but at least crack something pre-Constellation. -IB Ban Trolls. |

I knew this day was near after James wrote of his last visit with Bob in his blog, but still sad.
I had dinner twice with Bob, and he was truly larger than life in everyway, and what a life he lived. |

Was the 04 the last vintage Mondavi had a hand in before the sale?

Yes, just barely. The family sold in November. 2003 to keep Karma-safe,  .-IB Ban Trolls. |

1999 mondavi napa merlot with two female mormon missionaries led to skinny dipping and an early return home to provo for 1 of the 2 (for unspecified reasons). God I miss her... I went dumpster diving for this. This is my fav Mondavi memory. Kill the poor- DK |

A great man who seemed to live a great long life and left us a wonderful legacy.
I will look to open something with his name on it for sure this weekend. |

Quite likely the most influential American in the wine industry ever.
Let's all toast him tonight. Irwin I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous |

It has been an honor and a privilege to represent and sell his portfolio. We in the wine industry owe a lot to this man and the Mondavi family. RIP......

A touching tribute to the man who forged the CA wine industry to the status they have now become. Truly Yountville, and all the RT 29 Vineyards will miss him. I will open my only Mondavi Cab Sauv, Oakville, 2004 in memory of his life.
Here is to a true legend! |

indybob...
I'm sure I'll find something better...  Every Friday here at work I bring in a couple bottles and open them after the last patient has left. Everyone in the building can have a glass and relax after work. This week I picked up the '05 Mondavi Cab. and '06 Beringer P.R. Chard. when I was at Costco. One of the other dentists has been looking forward to trying it becuase his family has been growing grapes for Mondavi (now Constellation) for many years. Just kind of weird how we've been talking about him this week and now this.... So much wine.....so little time!!! |

Years ago when I worked at Napa Valley grille here in mpls. He had dinner one night and he was at a table close enough for me to view his dinner. He was with a group of about eight people. I just started getting into wine then and I was star struck. The waitress who waited on the table told me later she was all stressed out and mondavi put her at ease telling her to relax and that everything was great. He ended up pouring the wines at the table for her. My only brush with the man. And I guess he was one of us from Hibbing Minn which is north up in the Iron range where mining was the main industry when he was growing up. I have a 1999 oakville cab I'll hoist his weekend. RIP
