In this third conversation with Bruce Neyers of Neyers Vineyards we hear about Robert Mondavi’s prediction that strong middle management with expertise would be required for the American wine industry to grow. Bruce talks about the role of certified Sommeliers in wine sales. Back in the day when he sold wine into a restaurant, he’d be lucky to talk to a busy owner or head waiter.
