Robert Zimmerman (Bob Dylan) is not the only Robert from the Iron Range to reach the top of his profession. Robert Mondavi, the Vintner Hall of Fame member, was born in Virginia, MN. His family moved from Italy to Hibbing - Dylan's childhood hometown - during the great immigration period of the early 1900's. If you make it to Hibbing, go to Zimmy's Restaurant and sip on a glass of Mondavi wine while listening to Highway 61 revisited. Priceless.
