Mr. Speaker. I rise to honor the life and legacy of the late Robert Mondavi. a founding father of the American wine industry. Mr. Mondavi was born to Italian immigrants in June 1913. He graduated from Stanford University and joined his family in running Charles Krug Winery in my hometown of St. Helena. Nearly three decades later. he founded the Robert Mondavi Winery to make his dream of creating worldclass California wines a reality. Only a few years later. he released a Cabernet Sauvignon that opened the eyes of the world to the potential of the Napa Valley region. He went on to create the first FrenchAmerican wine venture. the first of many international partnerships.
