President Nixon consulted with his personal valet, Manolo Sanchez, regarding the procurement of a specific wine that the President favored. During the brief exchange, Nixon expressed his preference for this particular selection over the red wine he had previously consumed and confirmed that Sanchez had already placed an order for additional cases. The conversation served to address personal logistical arrangements for the President's hospitality needs at Camp David.
On December 9, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and Manolo Sanchez talked on the telephone at Camp David at an unknown time between 4:00 pm and 6:50 pm. The Camp David Study Table taping system captured this recording, which is known as Conversation 157-031 of the White House Tapes.
