The legendary Mondavi Family joins Joe Campanale for a very special episode of In The Drink. Joe is in studio with Michael, Rob Jr., and Dina Mondavi who share stories and insights about their winemaking process, maintaining the family business and the special terroir of the Napa valley. Tune in as they taste three different wines on air - The 2010 Emblem Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, The M by Michael Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon and The Isabel Mondavi Chardonnay. Find out what plans are on the horizon for the historic family winery and how each of the Mondavi's does everything they can to continue the traditions and consistency of quality that Robert Mondavi started! This program was sponsored by The International Culinary Center.
"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]

Today's episode of Taste Matters is "All in the Family" as host Mitchell Davis is joined by his cousin Madeline Poley, co-chef and co-proprietor of Soho Charcuterie, author of "The Soho Charcuterie Cookbook", President at Big Thyme Inc. and Co-founder & Partner at New York Burger Co. Tune in for a discussion on everything from Jewish spaghetti to French cuisine as Mitchell and Madeline reminisce on food memories and culinary beginnings. As much as things change, they stay the same and Madeline recalls her experiences with farm to table ingredients and do-it-yourself culture in the 1970's and explains what the NYC food scene was like back then. This program was sponsored by Fairway Market.
"What we were doing in the 70's is very similar to whats going on today. There weren't as many resources, but we'd get in our VW van and go get fresh milk from the dairy farm in New Jersey, we'd get vegetables from farms on the North Shore, etc."
"Even an omelet can be noble. What's so exciting today is watching people use their creativity - whether it be a great sandwich or something far more exotic."
--Madeline Poley on Taste Matters
