In last week’s “Wine 101” episode, host Keith Beavers left off as the brothers Mondavi were on the precipice of success after taking over Napa’s Charles Krug Winery in the 1940s. In the following decade, Napa saw a renaissance in wine production due to the post-war influences from Europe and post-Prohibition renewed interest.
Today on the “Wine 101” podcast, Keith completes the tale of the most famous winemaking families in America, from leveraging the resurgence in wine consumption in the mid-20th century to becoming an unforgettable name in America’s winemaking history.
