Millions of boomers are entering their 60s and are more concerned than ever about retirement. They know they need to save, but how much? And what exactly are they saving for--to spend more time spoiling the grandkids, start another career, or sip Chianti in Tuscany? Turns out that husbands and wives may have radically different ideas about the subject. "Married couples can be relatively in synch with one another when it comes to making decisions about how they want to live today--where to go to dinner or where to take the next family vacation," says Jon Skillman, president...

Standing in a Domaine du Grollet cellar, dank with the heady aroma of the tierçons and the cognac, I hold a tulip glass of Louis XIII and prepare myself for this rare tasting opportunity. "Don't merely take a first sip," Géré tells me. "Instead, try to crush that first drop on your teeth." So how does century-old cognac taste? Well, like the 20th century itself: complex. Even the occasional cognac drinker like me can immediately sense a unique palate with each sip. First I tasted...
