Being born into wine is one thing, being born into the Mondavi family is another. Tim Mondavi’s grandfather, Cesare, and dad, Robert, are California wine royalty. Tim grew up around the vines in St Helena, traveled to Europe, studied wine at UC Davis, and then jumped right into the family business at Robert Mondavi Winery. He had a big influence on their growth and innovation including Opus One, Luce in Italy, and Sena in Chile. Tim eventually moved on to create his dream winery, Continuum, on Pritchard Hill with his sister and children focusing on estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon dominated wines. Carissa Mondavi joins us with her generational perspective.
