Mario Perelli-Minetti

Wow, I think about Mario from time to time so I finally ran a Google search to see if I could find out how he's doing and ran across this. Mario was such a character and we always enjoyed when he came to visit. He always insisted on delivering his own wine with a hand truck down our front stairway and I loved that about him. He was probably already in late 80's/early 90's at the time! He very graciously and generously offered a night in a suite at the Wine Country Inn to my husband and I on...

Met Mario by chance while walking/jogging in Hillsborough. Thereafter, always looked forward to a chat, pleasant exchange of views. He was fascinated about learning about China. He was a fine example for many of us. God Bless him. Olga and Bob Parr

I had the privilege to service Mario's vehicles at Burlingame Ford for over 10 years. He was one of nicest guys I ever met and always had a story to tell. He was one of the most honorable people I have ever known. I am going to miss him.

Mr Mario Perelli-Minetti was a wonderful man and we will miss him at La Folie where he was a regular each year on Bastille Day. I will always remember him walking to the restaurant looking at me with his malicious eyes and saying "Do you want to buy some good wine." Follow by a big smile. You could not say No to him after that.
Adieu Mario! Condoleances to his family

I had the privilage of helping Mr. Minetti with his banking needs when I was employed at the Bank of America in Burlingame. He was a wonderful and kind man. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I met Mr. Mario Minetti years ago when he was selling his wine. After meeting him, I would buy his wine. Later we would come upon each other at a restaurant we both frequent where his wine was on the menu. We would greet each other and say hello and have a few words. He later would send over a bottle of his wine. A real class act. He was always very gracious.
