I have been reading a spectacular wine book. It’s titled "The House of Mondavi". This book is about the rise and fall of the great Mondavi family and their ambitious wine empire. I recently visited Barnes and Noble with my two children and of course I always skim pass the wine and cooking section. The House of Mondavi caught my attention at first read. I will not give many details about the book because I suggest that you experience the read on your own. But I will tell you that the ambition of Cesare Mondavi reminds me of myself. He was an immigrant from Italy and work his way through life using strength, knowledge, kindness and respect to build a tremendous life for his wife, children, and community. Unfortunately, this legacy was destroyed by sibling rivalry, and betrayal. This book gets two pinky fingers up and cheers with a glass filled of Robert Mondovi 2009 Pinot Noir Reserve.
