One of the most influential
winemakers in the United
States, Robert Mondavi has
died in California at the age
of 94. When Mr Mondavi opened
his winery in the 1960s, most
Californian wine was
considered to be below or average
quality. But his pioneering
production techniques helped
turn the Napa Valley region
into one of the world's
preimum wine-making locations.
