Creighton Churchill Is Dead; Wine Writer and Consultant (New York Times, Dec. 1984)
Creighton Churchill, a wine writer and wine consultant, died at Woodstock, Vt., on Thursday of cancer. He was 72 years old.
Mr. Churchill was the author of ''A Notebook for the Wines of France,'' ''The World of Wines'' and ''The Great Wine Rivers.'' When President Lyndon B.

Since 1965, he had been wine consultant to American Airlines.
He was a graduate of the Groton School, Harvard College and the Mozarteum Conservatory in Salzburg, Austria. Later, he studied at L'Ecole de l'Orchestre Symphonique de Paris, under Pierre Monteux.
