How did you end up in California at the Mondavi Winery? I was traveling in the U.S. in 1978 to learn more about winemaking, because the talk in Europe was that California was an innovative area trying new winemaking ideas. There I met [Robert] Mondavi. He was a superstar. I soon began working in the lab at Mondavi as an enologist.

You have talked about Robert Mondavi’s holistic approach to winemaking. What do you mean by that? He was extremely respectful of nature, people, and wine. When Mr. Mondavi was growing his grapes, he was seeing nature. Employees were expected to balance vineyard management with the forest around it, along with the river, the streams, and the insects. At the winery, he wanted both the employees and the wine to be treated with respect. He carried that same compre- hensive vision into the kitchen, then to the table. It gave his year’s honorary chair, Genevieve Janssens, me a total understanding of why we make wine and how is the Director of Winemaking at Napa Valley’s to do it well.
