We have this fantastic shop in our little town of Pleasant Hill called the Pleasant Hill Wine Merchant.  Chris and Victoria Bankerd, Owners and propriators run this shop with love and care that seems to infect those around them to the point of just wanting to hang out and buy lots of great priced wines.  

Through his connectedness to the wine industry, his father was an executive for none other than Robert Mondavi, he was able to get Michael Mondavi, Robert Mondavi's son, out to the Wine merchants to introduce the new generation of Mondavi wines under the Folio Fine Wine Parnters.  

I missed that event, unfortunately, but got to go to an event that featured wines from the youngest Mondavi winemaker Rob Jr Mondavi and his fabulous wines: Oberon, Emblem, Madusa, Spellbound.  Wow! you have to try these.  Oh yeah, this is one of the perks of living so close to the wine country.
