CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Honoring the life of Robert Mondavi.
Whereas Robert Mondavi, a much-loved and admired man of many talents, passed
away on May 16, 2008, at the age of 94;
Whereas Robert Mondavi will be fondly and most famously remembered for his work
in producing and promoting California wines on an international scale;
Whereas Robert Gerald Mondavi was born to Italian immigrant parents, Cesare and
Rose, on June 18, 1913, in Virginia, Minnesota, and his family later
moved to Lodi, California, where he attended Lodi High School;
Whereas after graduating from Stanford University in 1937 with a degree in
economics and business administration, Robert Mondavi joined his father
and younger brother, Peter, in running the Charles Krug Winery in the
Napa Valley of California;
Whereas Robert Mondavi left Krug Winery in 1965 to establish his own winery in
the Napa Valley, and, in 1966, motivated by his vision that California
could produce world-class wines, he founded the first major winery built
in Napa Valley since Prohibition, the Robert Mondavi Winery;
Whereas in the later 1960s, the release of the Robert Mondavi Winery's Cabernet
Sauvignon opened the eyes of the world to the potential of the Napa
Valley region;
Whereas Robert Mondavi introduced new and innovative techniques of wine
production, such as the use of stainless steel tanks to produce wines,
like his now-legendary Fume Blanc;
Whereas as a tireless advocate for California wine and food, and the Napa
Valley, Robert Mondavi was convinced that California wines could compete
with established European brands, and his confidence in the potential of
Napa Valley wines was confirmed in 1976 when California wines defeated
some well-known French vintages at the historic Paris Wine Tasting, or
``Judgement of Paris'', wine competition;
Whereas in the late 1970s, Robert Mondavi created the first French-American wine
venture when he joined with Baron Philippe de Rothschild in creating the
Opus One Winery in Oakville, which produced its first vintage in 1979;
Whereas the success of the Robert Mondavi Winery, and the many international
ventures Robert Mondavi pursued, allowed him to donate generously to
various charitable causes, including the Robert Mondavi Institute for
Wine and Food Science and Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for
Performing Arts, both affiliated with the University of California,
Davis, and the establishment of the American Center for Wine, Food, and
the Arts;
Whereas those who knew Robert Mondavi recognized him as a uniquely passionate
and brilliant man who took pride in promoting causes that he held close
to his heart;
Whereas Robert Mondavi's work as an ambassador for wine will be remembered
fondly by all those whose lives he touched; and
Whereas Robert Mondavi will be deeply missed in the Napa Valley, in California,
and throughout the world: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That Congress honors the life of Robert Mondavi, a true pioneer and
patriarch of the California wine industry.
Passed the House of Representatives June 26, 2008.
