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.

Wine is sunlight, held together by water.

Let things taste of what they are.

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

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

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

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

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

Beer is made by men, wine by God.
