The
Napa Valley has been a little short on legends lately.
Not legendary
wines—there are still plenty of those—but legendary
figures. It's almost three years since the last legendary man,
Robert Mondavi, passed away and much longer since he was the one
man most synonymous with this great California wine region.
According
to Napa grape grower Andy Beckstoffer, the time of legendary men
may be over. "The vineyards are the next Robert Mondavi.
The vineyards are what matters," he said.
One could
argue that this position was either born of great knowledge or
was rather self-serving, since Mr. Beckstoffer owns 1,000 acres
of vineyard land in Napa.
Unlike many
growers, Mr. Beckstoffer only sells grapes to other wineries;
he doesn't make wine himself...
One of the many observations made about the late Elizabeth Taylor
was that she lived her entire life in public and yet remained
completely unknown. The Napa Valley offers a similar paradox.

country, it's also a place where much remains hidden—shrouded,
if not in mystery, then by.....
