Dance a grape-stomping jig across the heartbeats of time as we lose one of the luminaries of the wine-making cosmos. A colossus of the Napa vineyard-scape, Miljenko “Mike” Grgich, has ambled into the sunset of this mortal coil, his name now a star in the constellation of viniculture's history.
The legendary winemaker, the sage of the vineyards who catapulted Napa Valley onto the world’s premier wine-making pedestal, drew his last breath at the centenarian milestone. Grgich said adieu to the world with quiet dignity, catching the last train out in his sleep at his Calistogan abode nestled in the California dream, as shared by his labor of love and grand legacy, Grgich Hills Estate.
