Community health and children’s education nonprofits were the big winners at Auction Napa Valley 2018. This year’s auction raised an amazing $13.6 million dollars! Between e-auction lots, live lots and the barrel auction, a splendid time was had by all. Along with celebrating our podcast’s 10th anniversary, this is our 10th visit to the Barrel Auction. Wine was poured from the barrels at the Charles Krug Winery and hosted by the 4th generation Mondavi sisters; Giovanna, Angelina, Alycia and Riana. This program focuses on the influence Robert and Peter Mondavi had on the wine industry in California. Below is a list of Vintners we interviewed at the event. Congratulations to the Napa Valley Vintners Association and the many folks who volunteered their time at this fantastic event!
