A remembrance of Michael Muscardini, the acclaimed Sonoma Valley winemaker who died July 15 of congestive heart failure.

A graduate of the California College of the Arts, he was remembered for his humor and warmth, illustrated by his willingness to lend his Porsche for a lighthearted magazine feature.
