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

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

Let things taste of what they are.

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

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

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.

Beer is made by men, wine by God.

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

Wine is sunlight, held together by water.
