Publisher Comments:

In 1965, after a notorious family feud, Robert Mondavi-then fifty-two years old-was thrown out of his family's winery. Far from defeated, Mondavi was dedicated to a vision of creating a superior wine. What has happened since that fateful day is one of the greatest success stories of American business. Today, the Robert Mondavi Winery is one of the most respected in the world, and Mondavi is the man who is most responsible for the worldwide recognition of American wine making, as well as changing America's palate for fine wine and fine food. In Harvests of Joy, Mondavi shares how, through his passion for excellence, he achieved this extraordinary position, one he reached not without pain and sacrifice. With invaluable insider tips on his approach to both wine making and to running a business, Mondavi's inspirational story is "a grand example of the fact that in America you can pretty much be, do, or accomplish, whatever you set out to." (Ventura County Star)

Synopsis:

The secrets of success and the inspiring story of one of the world's greatest wineries, by the man who revolutionized America's wine business. Two 8-page photo inserts.

Robert Mondavi and his family did for American wine what Julia Child did for American cooking. I have watched the wine industry in the Napa Valley grow for over 40 years and have known an insider in the industry for as many. This man is a legend.
