The Mondavi family bought the Charles Krug winery (the oldest in Napa) in 1943, and Peter ran it until he retired *last year* at the age of 100. This was my parents' favorite winery when I was born here 20 years later.  Robert Mondavi was the older brother who split off to start his own winery a couple years after that.
