Fine Wine & Good Spirits to Host Winemaker at Allentown Premium Collection
September 12 event to feature Marc Mondavi from C. Mondavi & Family
ALLENTOWN, Pa., Sept. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Fine Wine & Good Spirits Premium Collection at Crest Plaza Shopping Center, 1516 N. Cedar Crest Blvd., Allentown, will host a special tasting and bottle signing featuring four wines poured and discussed by C. Mondavi & Family co-proprietor Marc Mondavi from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM Wednesday, Sept. 12.
Marc Mondavi is the eldest son of Peter and Blanche Mondavi and grandson of Cesare and Rosa Mondavi, the Napa Valley pioneers who purchased the historic Charles Krug Winery in 1943. As co-proprietor with his brother Peter Jr., they work on issues of strategic importance, including stewardship of all the winery's brands. Marc Mondavi caught the family winemaking bug early in life, holding his first official winery position at age 10. Growing up on the Charles Krug property meant summers running around the winery, climbing in empty tanks, packing gift boxes, and working in the vineyards. When he started tasting wines with his father, Marc knew he was destined for the family wine business.
Mondavi studied viticulture and enology at the University of California, Davis, and marketing at California State University, Sacramento. He returned to the winery in 1978 after his studies and immersed himself in every aspect of winery operations. He worked with his father to further his knowledge of winemaking and applied the expertise he had acquired at U.C. Davis to the winery's numerous vineyard holdings. Mondavi continues to spend much of his time in the vineyards, where he works with his brother to oversee the family's $25.6 million investment in their 850 acres of Napa Valley vineyard land with mostly noble Bordeaux varietals.
Mondavi will offer samples of the following wines to those 21 years of age and older:
- Charles Krug Sauvignon Blanc St. Helena (Code 9104) – $16.99
- Charles Krug Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley (Code 5624) – $35.99
- CK Mondavi and Family Merlot 1.5L (Code 4063) – $11.99 (save $3)
- CK Mondavi and Family Pinot Grigio 1.5L (Code 4934) – $11.99 (save $3)
Mondavi will also sign pre-purchased bottles, answer customers' questions, and share stories, history, and interesting facts about his wines.
