  • The focus is red wine and to get right to it without distraction, click The Wine Commonsewer Speaks. The rest of the enchilada is just enough of an eclectic mix of commentary on culture, food, tax, and econ 101 to distract from the focus on red wine.

    We appreciate your patronage.

Robert Mondavi 1913-2008, Gratzi

Good Morning Gentle Readers,

Prohibition decimated the California wine industry, setting the evolution of US winemaking back five decades. Once the ban was lifted, surviving wineries focused primarily on producing cheap jug wines. Until Robert Mondavi's dynamic vision of winemaking on a par with the best of France, Spain, and Italy that is. Mondavi's legacy is nothing short of the astonishing plethora of delightful wines filling the shelves of grocerias and specialty shops across the land.

Whole thing here.

Salud!

As Ever,

TWC
