Description
Julia Flynn SilerGet the inside story of wine making's First Family
The House of Mondavi
Julia Flynn Siler, Author
American wine making was transformed by the prowess of the Mondavi vision. Transcending the boundaries of the Old World tradition, while trying to adapt to the pressures of the new, the Mondavi family found itself sinking in an industry that it had fought so hard to master. After careful research and countless interviews, Siler reveals how the world was exposed to the Mondavi name, chronicles the rivalry that began with the ambition of two brothers, and gives a chilling portrait of the family's decline.
