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

Wine is a constant proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

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

Wine is bottled poetry.

Beer is made by men, wine by God.

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

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

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

Let things taste of what they are.

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