2003 Robert Mondavi

[Kcwhippet]

Bern,

Don't let ww throw you. CK is short for Charles Krug, and they make wines under the CK Mondavi name because Robert Mondavi's brother, Peter, is the owner thereof. Also, that branch of the family pronounces the name the original way (Robert changed it when he split from the rest of the family). The pronunciation uses a long "a" like in hay. BTW, Robert Mondavi came from there since the family owns Charles Krug winery, but he had a falling out with the rest of the family and split, kind of like Sam Sebastiani when he left to found Viansa. It's a long and twisted story, but this is the semi-short version.
