I told Charley I would lift a glass to him (fellow wine lover) when I was in Napa Valley, CA two weeks ago. I did, and it turned out to be at Robert Mondavi's (pictured). It was a sample of the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon ($88/bottle retail) and it was spectacular. Why Mondavi when there were so many other exotic little places? Mondavi has long been a favorite of mine, particularly for $50 plus bottles,...

Most of the wine names we see regularly on store shelves and wine lists are well known to the vast majority of Americans. Robert Mondavi, Beringer, Sutter Home, Fetzer, Kendall-Jackson, Gallo, Beaulieu, and a dozen more are more widely marketed than literally thousands of foreign and domestic brands, some of them so small that they get scant attention in magazines, newspapers and from wine shop operators....
