Shouldn't this be split into two articles?

I believe that there should be a separate biography of Robert Mondavi as well as an article about Robert Mondavi Winery, which goes on even though the founder is deceased. Opinions? Cullen328 ( talk) 22:19, 29 April 2010 (UTC) reply

Was wondering what was the history of that statue ?

Looks like a Benjamin Buffano statue at CCSF titled "St. Francis of the Guns", same pose, ST. Francis I believe with metled guns.

It is a Beniamino Bufano statue of St. Francis. In case you are interested.


THE ART OF BUFANO AT ROBERT MONDAVI WINERY
Offered every eight weeks, starting March 6, 2006 at 4:00 p.m.
(Scheduled dates: May 8; July 10; September 11; and November 12)

First line, Ernest Gallo, who learned the craft of winemaking in the basement of the Modesto public library...

I find that amazing, should be added but not sure where. Also the bit about his family feuds and also fathers murder suicide.

I do not quite get why you think that this information about Gallo working in the Modesto library basement is relevant to Robert Mondavi. The families are unrelated, and Robert Mondavi was friends of the Gallos nothing more. Mondavi has been friends to many of the wine-makers in California, so to be appropriate you'd have to add all of them, not just one which would be a fruitless endeavor. You might perhaps be confusing Mondavi in the case with Julio Gallo who is also mentioned in the article, Julio Gallo passed away last year.

The first few sentences seem to need references as they cite an opinion I have never heard in any of the many European wine routes I've traveled. "This is now the standard for New World wines and is favored by most consumers around the world. Where legally permitted, many Old World producers are increasingly labeling their wines varietally because of consumer demand." All Europeans I've met, and I've met many, prefer the appellee controlee method as they believe terroir is as important as grape variety.
