Anyone know more about this new "super small" production wine/winery that they

I read about it the other day. Apparently the sons of Peter Mondavi
(Charles Krug Winery) and Robert Mondavi are contributing a half barrel each
of their best stuff (Cabernet, I assume) to be blended and bottled as a sort
of symbolic burying of the hatchet. I'm quite sure it'll be hard to get and
_very_ expen$ive.

Glad to see the peace. Nothing in life is more important than family and
this is nice to see.

Maybe some of it will show up as part of a very high-end
lot at the 2005 Auction Napa Valley...

About the only whine Robert & Peter will collaborate on is "Where's my
ciallis?" The sons are another story......
