I'm Not An Oenophile

<p>By DAVID ELLIS/Reported by Sidney Urquhart

<p> "I must admit that I do not deserve to be considered a
[wine] connoisseur," writes Richard Nixon in Forbes FYI, a new
supplement to the business magazine. The former President's
article provides evidence that his modesty is well placed. The
Sage of Saddle River proffers advice that wine lovers will
recognize as misleading or downright wrong. Never chill a red
wine, he decrees. In fact, most Beaujolais and some other fruity
reds benefit from cool temperatures. Nixon says California's
consistent climate renders vintage years virtually irrelevant as
a guide to quality, a claim that would be disputed by the Napa
and Sonoma vintners who suffered through icy rains last fall.
Nixon heralds the 1961 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild as the
century's greatest Bordeaux; he serves it when regaling
journalists in his home. Wine critic Robert Parker calls the
1961 "unyielding, too acidic, disturbingly austere and
surprisingly ungenerous." Parker's pick: the 1949 Lafleur
Pomerol.
