Thank you for sharing these wonderful memories of Margrit's from Margrit Mondavi's Sketchbook, which I had the pleasure of writing with her. As you can tell, she was a natural-born storyteller. I've always loved that Ella Fitzgerald anecdote. So many more great tales of her life in this memoir.
Margrit loved all kinds of music, particularly jazz and classical. She was very unhappy about the demise of the Napa Valley Symphony, which she supported enthusiastically and generously. She told me that Beethoven was her favorite composer.

My husband and I and several friends attended many of these events. They were wonderful.
