Every year since 1945, Chateau Mouton-Rothschild, one of the world's greatest wines, has enhanced its name by decorating its labels with the work of the greatest artists of the time, from Picasso to Chagall. A number of smaller American vineyards have now taken label decoration a step further: emphasizing the artwork over the maker's name. Styles include art nouveau, abstract and realistic; at least one vineyard is putting photography on labels. Zaca Mesa uses several styles, clothing some of its varietals with twin panels of golden oaks and distant hills. Says Ream...
...having bought Gulfs oil, will Socal do less exploring on its own? Since it is spending $13.2 billion on Gulf, critics argue, it is not going to have much left over for drilling. Ed Rothschild, assistant director of the Citizen/Labor Energy Coalition, maintains that the reduced competition resulting from the merger will encourage Socal to explore less and charge more for its oil. Says he: "The losers in this deal are the U.S. economy, competition in the domestic oil and gas industry and the consumer...
Once he reaches his Wall Street office by cab at 8:30 a.m., Unterberg, 53, keeps on hustling. As chairman of the investment-banking firm of L.F. Rothschild, Unterberg, Towbin, he has a talent for finding young companies ready to go public and selling their stock. He spends nearly half his time on the road, particularly in California, scouting for prospects. In 1983 Rothschild underwrote new issues worth $1.4 billion. The biggest: a $123 million stock offering in Diasonics, a Milpitas, Calif., firm that makes advanced medical diagnostic devices. On that deal, Rothschild earned a fee of $1.7 million...
Unterberg likes to sign up a company well before it goes public in the hope that he can continue to underwrite subsequent stock offerings as it gets bigger. When Cray Research, a Minneapolis-based maker of scientific computers, went public in 1976, Rothschild earned a fee of $150,000 on the $9.9 million issue. Cray has since sold an additional $63 million worth of stock through Rothschild-led syndicates and generated $500,000 in additional fees for Unterberg's firm...
Educated at Deerfield Academy, a Massachusetts prep school, and Princeton University, Unterberg was bred to be an investment banker. In 1931 his father co-founded C.E. Unterberg, Towbin, which merged with L.F. Rothschild in 1977. In an office with a view of the Brooklyn Bridge, Unterberg sits at the same solid-oak desk his father used. Though he is worth more than $10 million, Unterberg and his wife choose to live in the same two-bedroom apartment they bought for $70,000 when they were married 22 years ago. Unterberg marvels at the thought that he helps make multimillionaires...
