Robert Mondavi dead at 94
Robert Mondavi, the California vintner whose Oakville, California winery provided the «code name» for my wine cellar project died Friday at the age of 94. A Cabernet Sauvignon that I tasted at the Oakville winery several years ago was the best wine I've ever tasted. It was a 6-year old wine and had mellowed to the stage that it felt like velvet hitting the tongue and literally burst with flavor. The winery's architecture and location is everything it's cracked up to be.
