All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.

Wine is bottled poetry.

Let things taste of what they are.

A world without tomatoes is like a string quartet without violins.

As you get older, you shouldn’t waste time drinking bad wine.

There is communion of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine drunk.

Wine is sunlight, held together by water.

A poet’s hope: to be, like some valley cheese, local, but prized elsewhere.

Beer is made by men, wine by God.

Don’t eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.
