In last week’s “Wine 101” episode, host Keith Beavers continued recounting the tale of the Mondavi family. In the mid-1960s, tension began to brew between the Mondavi brothers over their ownership of Charles Krug Winery. The relationship reached a breaking point, and, with the support of his immediate family, Robert Mondavi decided to pursue his own endeavor.

Today on the “Wine 101” podcast, Keith continues Robert Mondavi’s story. What led Robert Mondavi to break from his extended family, and how did he forge his own identity within Napa’s burgeoning wine scene? Tune in next week for Part IV.
