Nonagenarians

You might think you would just relax, let sleeping dogs lie and leave the rat-race if you made it to 90+ and still had millions of dollars to play with. Not so if you are Napa's Robert Mondavi, a pioneer of the California fine wine business and self-made millionaire. Remarkably, the 92-year old, who can barely walk but still has a mind as sharp as a pin, and his 90-year old brother Peter announced today that they will found a new winery together, mending a bitter row that extranged the brothers for over 40 years. Robert's own winery, the source of the row, was recently sold to a larger company for $1 billion. I wonder why I am so taken by this tale. Really, it's not just because I love his Pinot Noir!
