(ChicagoTribune) - Robert and Margrit Mondavi personified the glamorous wine country life during their high-profile 28-year marriage. As America's most famous winemaker, Robert Mondavi proved what California vintners could achieve, while Margrit deftly wove wine, the arts, food and celebrity together to create a culture people desired nearly as much.
Now 87 and widowed, Margrit Mondavi tells her story in a charming new book, "Margrit Mondavi's Sketchbook: Reflections on Wine, Food, Art, Family, Romance and Life" (Robert Mondavi Winery, $35).
