Among California wines, the noble varietals of Robert Mondavi have been discounted, from the superb Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve '78, down from more than $60, to $49.50 a magnum, to the pleasant Fume Blanc, at $6.50 (down from $8.50).

Like New York City's Koch, Schaefer is a lifelong bachelor who returns his city's enthusiasm with total attention and visceral emotion. He will storm, fume and curse when he feels Baltimore's interests have been slighted. He cheers frenetically at Colt and Oriole games. He hoards trinkets and tokens from municipal events. Schaefer has never left his birthplace and still shares a West Side row house with his mother Tululu, 86. Even his education...
