A dessert without cheese is like a beautiful woman with only one eye.

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.

Wine is sunlight, held together by water.

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.

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.
