Peter Mondavi is a 3rd generation wine maker and the co-proprietor of the Charles Krug Winery, the oldest commercial winery in Napa Valley. Napa Valley has seen decades of amazing wine production but a changing climate has created new hurdles for the industry. We sit down with Peter to understand what issues sit top of mind for the industry and how vintners (wine makers) are managing these new risks.
