HAPPY 1OOth BIRTHDAY MR. MONDAVI!

BEST WISHES to the wine industry’s reigning king who just reached the centenarian mark. The living legend turned the big 1OO on November 8. Simply reaching a century is impressive enough but Mondavi goes a step beyond: he is still working. Peter Rudolf Mondavi Sr. arrives at the Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena every weekday. Dressed and shaven, he climbs the 32 steps up to his office. The youngest of the Mondavi siblings, and fondly called “Babe” by his family, Peter is the oldest working winemaker in the Napa Valley and at the oldest winery. Quite an accolade indeed, cheers!
