"The original Chardonnay's were made in large redwood or concrete tanks - they weren't made in stainless steel or oak barrels. In the mid 70's we got into oak and like anything at first we went too far. Many Chardonnay's did not have balance - they literally fought food. I think now we've come back to where balance is important. You want the flavor of the grape, a kiss of the oak. You want it to be interesting and compliment the food, not overpower it." [7:30]
"Wine is supposed to cleanse the palate excite the taste buds and invite you to have another sip of the wine or more taste of the food." [25:00]
--Michael Mondavi on In the Drink
"Growing up Mondavi was the only life I had so I have nothing to compare it to, but it has great perks. The downside is that when you call in sick everybody comes to bring you soup when you really just wanted the day off. It's been a blessing to work in this family my favorite thing to do is come in and work with my brother and father." [29:00]
