The wine world has lost a good soul. Robert Mondavi did more for Californian Wines than any other American. He put Californian wines on the map and France noticed! I've done some reading about him, incredible guy.

Not to argue his importance but the guy he was litening to was Maynard Amerine of UC Davis. Personally I think of Agoston Haraszthy as the father of California wines. He was responsible for getting the great vines into California. There are lots of people that California to where it is now, Mondavi was certainly one of them; so were the Gallo's.
