The power of "begat"
Article Abstract:
The key to dynastic greatness is begatting and greatness emerges when one visionary begats another who in turn begats yet others. An example is the Barossa Valley, the epicenter of Australia's wine culture and home to some of Australia's biggest old-line wine companies, whose ambition and the power of begat is changing Barossa into creating the best possible wines rather than just best-selling ones.
