These are the Frescobaldi archives.
:35:26
They go back to 1200.
:35:29
I'm looking for the letter
from Henry VI I I

:35:34
where he asks
for Frescobaldi wine.

Here's how the marriage happened:
:35:44
When the Mondavis came
to Tuscany,

:35:49
they made a study of
who could make a good partner.

:35:56
But they did it all in secret.
:36:00
Without ever showing their hand.
:36:09
They studied the field,
:36:11
they made comparisons, in secret.
:36:15
First there were three families
as candidates. Then two.

:36:20
In the end, there was only us left.
:36:29
I have a total admiration
for Bob Mondavi.

:36:33
I consider him...
:36:36
one of the greatest figures
in the world of wine today.

:36:43
H is influence is incredible.
:36:46
That's all for the Social Forum.
:36:51
They're watching from above.
:36:54
But his influence has gone
:36:57
beyond California.
:36:59
It goes beyond even the New World.
To the Old World, too.
