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

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.

And Sir, it is no little thing to make mine eyes to sweat compassion.

"Honesty" without compassion and understanding is not honesty but subtle hostility.

I conclude now I have no inner resources, because I am heavy bored. Peoples bore me, literature bores me, especially great literature.

Condense some daily experience into a glowing symbol and an audience is electrified.

Drunkenness is nothing but a self-induced state of insanity.

I lost my virginity to a pumpkin when I was 23. Back then I was convinced I was actually a Vegetable, hell, that's what the song is about.
