"The Robert Mondavi Winery"

The Robert Mondavi Winery has been in existence for over 40 years, producing some of the world's finest wines.

It is located in the Napa Valley, at 7801 St. Helena Highway, Oakland California, 94558.

The winery itself is a definite tourist destination, with the architecture of Cliff May reflecting the missions of early California. They also have an extensive art collection well worth viewing, as you sip some of their best vintages.

Mondavi wines is committed to both education and the arts, and beginning in 1967, he established a program for tours and tastings to enhance the visitors' understanding of fine wine. I found this quote from Mondavi's autobiography. I believe it gives us some sense of the man's committment to life and wine.

"WINE TO ME IS PASSION. IT'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS. IT'S WARMTH
OF HEART AND GENEROSITY OF SPIRIT. WINE IS ART. IT'S
CULTURE. IT'S THE ESSENCE OF CIVILIZATION AND THE ART OF LIVING."

Robert Mondavi 'Private Selection' Chardonnay 2005 - A Review

This is a delicious rich white wine, pale straw in color. It is a medium to full bodied wine with a smooth texture. You will note the flavors of peach, tropical fruit, coconut and vanilla. This sounds so sweet, but it actually isn't. This Chardonnay is a versatile wine that goes well with roast chicken and grilled salmon. At approximately $20 for a 750ml bottle, it is great value in a world class wine.

Robert Mondavi Pinot Noir 2006 - A Review

Don't be fooled by the light color of this red wine. Its flavors of cherry are intense, with a definite spiciness and hint of black licorice. This is a bright and vivacious wine.

When you purchase this 750 ml bottle at approximately $27.00, plan to serve it with veal or lamb chops for a delicious meal.
