SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) — Vintners in California's renowned Napa Valley on Monday launched an Internet tribute to pioneering US wine-maker Robert Mondavi, who died three days earlier in his home in the region.
The Napa Valley Vintners Association created an online "toast" to Mondavi on its website at www.napavintners.com, inviting people to share their memories of the icon in words and pictures.
"In all of the years I have been privileged to talk about Napa Valley wines I always mentioned two prominent members as the 'god fathers' of the Napa Valley wine industry," wrote Peter Huwiler, who headed winery there for more than a decade.
"Robert Mondavi was one of them. ... His stewardship for the valley will be the benchmark for generations to come."
