Spellbound is the name of a series of wines brought to us through the efforts of Rob Mondavi. Rob comes to us with a passion for wine and winemaking, and some very respectable credentials, being the son of Michael and Isabel Mondavi and the grandson of the world famous Robert Mondavi.

I first discovered Honig Wines at a wine tasting in Boston. The host for the evening asked me to stick around for a few extra minutes, saying that maybe, if I promised to behave myself, he would come up with a selection that he was featuring from one of his favorite distributors. I agreed to his terms and waited patiently. My reward was a Honig Cabernet Sauvignon, aged about four years, and it carried one of the richest and full-bodied flavors I had ever experienced. My only comment was “Where have you been hiding this?” and, in the same breath, I grabbed my order slip and immediately ordered six bottles. I was, to say the least, excited about this wine.
