Parting is such sweet sorrow! *

* With a tip of my hat to Shakespeare...

As you know, Michael Mondavi has resigned from his position as the president of the Robert Mondavi winery. It looks like he will have many goodies (Vintner Michael Mondavi gets 50 cases of wine as parting gift -- From indystar.com) to make his early retirement a little easier.

His severance agreement includes more than $1.5 million cash, the right to buy the winery's six season tickets to San Francisco Giants games at fair market value and up to 50 cases of wine, according to a document filed Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Not a bad deal!
