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

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

Beer is made by men, wine by God.

Wine is sunlight, held together by water.

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

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

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

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

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