          <body><![CDATA[Extremely thorough account of the Mondavi Wine Family spanning over four generations.  Reads very much like a Greek tragedy with interesting twists, turns, regret, nostalgia, love, and family wars.  I very much enjoyed reading it and polished it off (400 pages) in just less than 3 days.]]></body>
