...wine -- is something to celebrate. Tart and short- lived in off-vintages, this year's Nouveau is fresh (as it should be), fruity (ditto) and surprisingly well rounded -- the best wine they have made, growers say, since 1985. Nouveau's good structure bodes well for the quality of the longer-lasting (five years or more), higher-priced Beaujolaises bearing such village names as Brouilly, Chenas, Julienas and Morgon, which will arrive in the U.S. in early March.

Boone Pickens, Paul Bilzerian and Canada's Robert Campeau once made boardrooms tremble and the stock market dance. No longer.
