National Geographic : 1979 May
Contents
Wine was thicker than blood to the Mondavi broth ers, who feuded bitterly over control of the family business, Charles Krug Winery. The fight ended when Peter (above left), bought his brother's interest in Krug. Robert (above, at right), who left to form a winery under his own name, shows a stainless steel crusher to French wine maker Comte Alexander de Lur Saluces, whose interest reflects a growing respect for American innovation. Joe Heitz (left), another respected valley vintner, gets by with a 30-year-old truck to dump grapes at Heitz Wine Cellars. Rafael Rodriguez, cheek to-cheek with his wife, Tila (left), was a bracero (a Mexican admitted for sea sonal farm labor in the U. S.), "and I'm proud of it." He worked his way up to general manager for Niebaum-Coppola Estate. Relaxing after harvest, wine-industry leader Louis Martini square dances near St. Helena (right). 706
