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).

Their affair began in 1938, after Alice, then 26, met the tall, jug-eared Congressman, then 29, during a party at Longlea, her regal Virginia estate.
