Dr. Francis J. "Frank" Kysela IV

I moved away from Westlake years ago but prior to that Frank introduced me to wine, at another level. His passion for Bordeaux´s became mine and through that process became a respected friend. He was a very special friend....

Dr. Kysela introduced me to 1st growth Bordeaux in a blind tasting with Opus One. He was a gratious host to a novice and helped me along with his son and my friend Fran. Great Memory!!

Very sorry to hear about Doc's passing. I remember him fondly. I apologize for all we put him through in high school... Condolences to the whole family.

I have so many Great memories & have had so many fantastic experiences with Dr Kysela & his Family in his home & racing on his sailboats from CYC. I consider myself very fortunate to have spend so much time with Him over a 12 year period. I was always listening, always learning from Dr. Kysela who always spoke his mind with crystal clear conviction supported by facts & figures that you knew were precise & always well researched. His depth of knowledge on so many subjects was unparalleled....
