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

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

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

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

Wine is sunlight, held together by water.

Beer is made by men, wine by God.

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

Let things taste of what they are.

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

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