• Accounting in History

Recent studies of publication patterns in accounting history portray a myopic and introspective discipline. Analyses reveal the production and dissemination of accounting history knowledge which focus predominantly on Anglo-American settings and the age of modernity. Limited opportunities exist for contributions from scholars working in languages other than English. Many of the practitioners of accounting history are also shown to be substantially disconnected from the wider community of historians. It is argued in the current paper that interdisciplinary history has the potential to enhance theoretical and methodological creativity and greater inclusivity in the accounting history academy. A practical requirement for this venture is the identification of points of connectedness between...

By that time, [Robert Gerald Mondavi] was attending Stanford University and planned to be a businessman or lawyer. When his father said, "Bobby, there's going to be a future in the wine business," he thought, "why not go into a young industry and grow with it?," Mondavi told Michael Chiarello, author of the 2001 book "Napa Stories. I was sure we could make wines that belonged in that company," Mondavi told wine writer Cyril Ray, author of the 1984 biography "Robert Mondavi of the Napa Valley." "I felt that we had to get into the fine-wine business, or the bulk wineries in the San Joaquin Valley, making cheaper wine than we could out of their cheap grapes, would push us out of business." Robert Mondavi traced their now-famous falling out to two events, the first of which was a 1962 vac...

• Organic Methods Will Mean Cleaner, Better-Tasting Wine

Concerns over the health effects of chemicals in pesticides and fertilizers have led some farmers back to a natural (or organic) method of farming. Back in the good old days, everyone was an "organic" farmer. The problem with today's "organic" labelling is that the definition and subsequent certification varies from region to region. Chances are that ancient Greeks and Romans didn't suffer from as many headaches from wine as we do today; with weaker immune systems and the addition of sulfites to wines as a preservative, we are far more prone to such allergic reactions. Since sulfites occur naturally in grape skins and stems, it's nearly impossible to find a sulfite-free wine; however, most wineries (organic and otherwise) add sulfites of some sort for shipping and preserving, a snag for...
