It can be said that the name Mondavi is easily the most recognized name in American wine history. The family has grown into many projects and has grown along with the wine industry. Tim Mondavi and his sister Marcia Mondavi Borger are partners in Continuum Estate located on Pritchard Hill in Napa Valley.  We interviewed Tim’s daughter Carissa for the first time back in 2011 previous to the construction of the winery. For this interview, we met with Carissa at the winery to get caught up, tour the property and learn more about the family story.

It’s a fact that many wine lovers seek out smaller wine producers…wineries that make less than a thousand cases. In searching for these special wines you’ll never know what you’ll discover. And discovery is the best part. Spoto Family Winery is one of those wineries. The winery is located in Sacramento but the wine is from Napa. We met up with owner Stuart Spoto at the Oxbow Market in Napa during Premiere week. Take a listen to what we discovered.
