I've always wanted to improve on the idea of living well, In moderation, wine is good for you - mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Wine to me is passion. It's family and friends. It's warmth of heart and generosity of spirit.

I say to consumers: instead of relying totally on critics, drink what you like and like what you drink.

Even more importantly, it's wine, food and the arts. Incorporating those three enhances the quality of life.

My path was simple: Follow your passion. Pour in your heart and soul. Settle for nothing less than excellence. And with enough hard work and faith in yourself, you can realize your dream.

I always knew that food and wine were vital, with my mother being Italian and a good cook.

I want to make wines that harmonize with food - wines that almost hug your tongue with gentleness.

In both life and work, stay flexible. Whether in a country, a company, or a family, the same holds true: Dictatorship and rigidity rarely work. Freedom and elasticity do.

Wine has been with civilized man from the beginning.

Critics have done the wine industry a lot of good overall.

Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you.

Isn't it nice to know that you can put a worm on your hook and get a fish all charged up?

The bike has very few controls. It's very simple to operate and understand and your field of vision is certainly greatly expanded as opposed to being in a car.

You have to get something down, and then find ways of working in complexity and different layers of meaning... My first drafts are usually the ravings of a delusional fantasist.
