The BBC, in a store entitled [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7406015.stm]Pioneering winemaker Mondavi dies[/url], wrote:Pioneering vintner Robert Mondavi, who helped put Californian Cabernets and Chardonnays on the world's wine-tasting map, has died at the age of 94.
The Napa Valley vintner was lauded by industry journal Wine Spectator as "one of the most influential and admired winemakers in California history".
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said he was "a true California legend."
Mondavi died peacefully on Friday at his Napa Valley home.
The son of Italian immigrants had in 1966 opened his eponymous Napa Valley winery which turned the area into a wine-making centre.

One of the most important wine-makers of the last century. Will be missed but we all have to go some time and 94 years is a fair length of time on the planet.
Port is basically a red drink
