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

Beer is made by men, wine by God.

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

Let things taste of what they are.

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

Wine is bottled poetry.

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

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

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