Mondavi\u00a0<\/a>Family Estate in the Napa Valley with son Rob and his wife Dina, who sent me a bottle to sample.<\/p>\nIt’s a light and lively wine, ideal for toasting mom on the deck, especially if you are grilling salmon or turkey.<\/p>\n
As for the winemakers, they pour IM\u00a0ros\u00e9\u00a0as an aperitif. Start with a big glass, so you can add lots of ice. Garnish with a slice of orange or an edible flower.<\/p>\n

<\/a>One of the prettiest pours you will find is Isabel Mondavi Deep Ros\u00e9 Cabernet Sauvignon, a lovely dark pink that reflects the wine’s \u00a0aromas of strawberry and cranberry, with notes of green apple. It’s slightly acid. Of course, your mother is not.<\/p>\n
