    Wine Menu Wine Philosophy Exploration, Discovery, Enrichment. In this order, many of the notable moments in life transpire. We have curated a collection of wines with this philosophy in mind. Within each varietal, you will find a selection that not only affords you the familiar, but, if you wish to explore, there is a selection that encompasses the noteworthy and often the exceptional, usually at an unrivaled value. Enjoy. About Our Wine To aid with your selection, the wines on this progressive list are grouped in flavor categories. Wines with similar profiles are listed in a simple sequence, starting with those that are sweeter and very mild in flavor, progressing to wines that are drier and more full-bodied in taste. Wine Types B BIODYNAMIC Wine produced according to biodynamic principles, which state that agriculture should be conducted in tune with basic forces of nature, both terrestrial and celestial O ORGANIC Wine produced by organic viticulture avoiding synthetic treatments, chemical pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers V VEGAN Wine that has been fined with no animal substances or that has not been fined at all PRINCESS RECOMMENDED Wine selections of unusual quality and value Sparkling Wines & Champagnes GLASS BOTTLE BIN 5 Domaine Ste.

    Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Margrit Mondavi Margrit Mondavi on Wine, Food, Culture, and Napa Valley Interviews conducted by Martin Meeker in 2015 Copyright © 2016 by The Regents of the University of California ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Margrit Mondavi dated January 22, 2016. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

    Journal of Wine Economics, Volume 8, Number 2, 2013, Pages 235–241 Exhibition and Film Reviews Author, Title Reviewer The Smithsonian National Museum of American History Wine for the Table: The Smithsonian National Museum of American History’s Wine Exhibition Stephen Chaikind Jason Wise (Director) Somm Robert N. Stavins THE SMITHSONIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AMERICAN HISTORY, Wine for the Table: The Smithsonian National Museum of American History’s Wine Exhibition. Smithsonian National Museum of American History, Kenneth E. Behring Center, Washington, DC. A wonderful photograph at the newly opened wine exhibition in Washington DC’s Smithsonian National Museum of American History shows Julia Child, circa 1970, standing behind a table covered with half a dozen or so bottles of wine, long loaves of French bread, and plates of cheese and hors d’oeuvres. Child is holding a glass of wine at eye level with an expression of analytical judgment on her face. The labels on the bottles were pasted over with apparently handwritten ones saying, in large letters, “Cabernet Sauvignon,”“Médoc Red Bordeaux,”“Pinot Noir,”“Burgundy 1967,” and “Pinot Chardonnay California 1967,” among others. In this scene from her famous television show, The French Chef, Child is teaching Americans how to throw a wine and cheese party. The photo is particularly apropos of the museum’s newly renovated exhibition, “Food: Transforming the American Table, 1950–2000,” of which wine is a section. Child’s depiction of wine as an integral part of a meal coincided well with the resurgence of quality wine production in the United States during that period and likely did a great deal to encourage its consumer demand as well.
