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

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

Beer is made by men, wine by God.

Let things taste of what they are.

Wine is sunlight, held together by water.

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

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

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

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