To the rescue comes The Working Parents Cookbook, a lifestyle and culinary manual by Jeff Morgan, a Napa Valley vintner and journalist, and his social-worker wife Jodie, who are raising teenage daughters.

Based in Fairport, N.Y., Constellation already owns such mass-market wines as Almaden and Inglenook and was running a joint venture with BRL before deciding to buy it for $1.4 billion.
