15 November 2017 - - Marcia Mondavi Borger has been elected to the board of directors of US-based The Parkinson's Foundation, the group said.

Borger, the daughter of wine legend Robert Mondavi, grew up in Napa County and has been involved in the wine industry all her life.

Crowning the Mondavi family's four generations in wine, she co-founded Continuum Estate with her father and brother, Tim, in 2005. She is a graduate of the University of Santa Clara and a member of numerous wine societies.

She splits her time between Napa and New York City.

The Parkinson's Foundation aims to make life better for people with Parkinson's disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure.

There is no cure for Parkinson's and 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year in the United States alone.
