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

Beer is made by men, wine by God.

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

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

Let things taste of what they are.

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

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

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

Wine is sunlight, held together by water.

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