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

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

Let things taste of what they are.

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

Wine is bottled poetry.

Wine is sunlight, held together by water.

Beer is made by men, wine by God.

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

A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.

A dessert without cheese is like a beautiful woman with only one eye.
