Rise and Fall of Mondavi

There have been several interesting articles and now a new book based on the Mondavi Family, the winery and the amazing rise and somewhat sad fall post sale to Constellation Brands who also own Corona Beer and Black Velvet Canadian Whiskey.

The family though sounds to be in better shape than ever and are starting up several new boutique wine brands including Folio a well regarded brand being put out by Robert Mondavi's son Michael. There are also talks of once estranged brothers Peter and Robert producing a single barrel Cabernet Sauvignon to be sold at auction for, based on the long and rocky history of Peter and Robert, should fetch a very nice price.

I plan on reading the book as well to learn more of this interesting family and business saga.
