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

Beer is made by men, wine by God.

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

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.

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.

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

Wine is bottled poetry.

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