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

Wine is bottled poetry.

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

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

Wine is sunlight, held together by water.

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

Beer is made by men, wine by God.

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.

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