[PAR] [TLE] Philippe de Rothschild [SEP] Philippe, Baron de Rothschild (13 April 1902 – 20 January 1988) was a member of the Rothschild banking dynasty who became a Grand Prix race-car driver, a screenwriter and playwright, a theatrical producer, a film producer, a poet, and one of the most successful wine growers in the world. [PAR] [TLE] Opus One Winery [SEP] Opus One Winery is a winery in Oakville, California, United States.  The wine was called napamedoc until 1982 when it was named Opus One.  The winery was founded as a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi to create a single Bordeaux style blend based upon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.  It is located across State Route 29 from the Robert Mondavi Winery.  The creation of this winery venture in 1980 was big news in the wine industry; de Rothschild's involvement added an air of respectability to the burgeoning Napa wine region.  The first vintage, 1979 was released in 1984 at the same time as the 1980 vintage.  For a while it was the most expensive Californian wine costing $50 and to date still ranks among the most expensive red wines produced in the Napa Valley, commanding prices of $305 per bottle on average.  In 1989 a new winery was built just down the road, the first vintage from the new winery was from 1991 and was released in 1994.
