Harvests of joy

by Robert Mondavi

In 1965, in a family feud that became notorious in the wine world, Robert Mondavi - then fifty-two years old - was thrown out of his family's winery. But Robert Mondavi was far from defeated, and what has happened since then is one of the great success stories of American business. The key to Robert Mondavi's success lies not only in his own dedication: equally important is his ability to inspire people to strive for excellence. He has shown that quality works and has led others to the same goal; in Harvests of Joy, he talks openly about his uniquely personal approach to being the best.
