Julia Flynn Siler is the author of the forthcoming The House of Mondavi, an account of rise and fall America's leading wine empire, which will be published by Penguin's Gotham Books in 2007. Julia has written for The Wall Street Journal, Business Week and The New York Times. A graduate of Brown University and Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, Julia began her career as a staff correspondent for BusinessWeek, working in the magazine's Los Angeles and Chicago bureaus. She wrote about Midwestern businesses for The New York Times before earning her degree from Kellogg. In 1993, she won a fellowship to teach business journalism in Prague and began a long stint as a London-based foreign correspondent for BusinessWeek and The Wall Street Journal. She eventually moved back to the U.S. to join a family business in San Francisco. After a few years, she returned to the WSJ and wrote a front-page story about the turmoil within the Mondavi family. Julia continues to write about wine and family businesses for WSJ.

Chris Wolf recently moved to a food product development consultancy called The Turover Straus Group where, as director of strategic innovation, he helps develop ideas and prototypes for companies like PepsiCo, Tyson Foods, Interstate Bakeries, Sara Lee, Starbucks and Dole. Chris, his wife Carrie and sons David (9) and John (8) visit their family's Michigan lake house every summer, stopping off at places like Sherman's in Grand Haven for a little scoop of ice cream.
