Margrit Mondavi will celebrate Robert Mondavi’s birthday with a special global toast at 5pm Eastern, 2pm Pacific. If you are lucky enough to be in Napa Valley that day, the winery is hosting a special open house, for the public. If you won’t be in Napa, and would like to watch along, facebook is streaming the event live on the Robert Mondavi Winery page.

Robert Mondavi’s pioneering vision placed California wines among the finest in the world and made them an integral part of a gracious lifestyle.

With every new “LIKE” received on The Robert Mondavi Winery Facebook page during June 13th -17th, Robert Mondavi Winery will donate $1 (up to $10,000) to Days of Taste, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating children about the food we eat. Days of Taste is the community action group of the American Institute of Wine & Food, which was founded by Julia Child and Robert Mondavi.

So, get a bottle of Robert Mondavi’s signature Fume Blanc, and raise a glass this Friday to honor an American Pioneer and to help a very worthy cause.

Cheers!
