Operating a winter resort can be as tricky as schussing blindfolded. "Two or three years ago people were saying that there was white gold in those hills," says Baron Edmond Rothschild, who owns part of France's Megeve resort. "Well, there isn't any to be found. The trouble with skiing is that the season is too short." In the West, the season often lasts only from Thanksgiving to late April, about 150 days.

With expectations so high, the talks had begun in a kind of unreal, Hellzapoppin' atmosphere. Journalists camped outside the ornate U.S. embassy residence (a former Rothschild mansion), waiting for the American team to emerge.

This week, in Sakowitz's annual wine auction, the store will sell off rare vintages, including one of the eight remaining Jeroboams of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1929. All this activity has been more than culturally rewarding. In the past ten years, sales of Sakowitz Inc. have risen 150%, to some $60 million, and net profits -which are a family secret-have exceeded the 22% margin that is common for retail chains...
