Book Reviews of The House of Mondavi: The Rise and Fall of an American Wine Dynasty

Book Review: Family dynamics for all to see
Summary: 5 Stars

An interesting in-depth review of a famous family, from success to downfall. This book navigates the ascendacy of this dynasty to the top of the California wine industry, hindered by the breakdown of personal relations and the final fiasco of the business. Sad, but fascinating.
