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

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

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

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

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

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

Wine is bottled poetry.

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

Let things taste of what they are.
