Once I was able to take care of myself and my children, I then wanted to share.

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.

I feel blessed. So many men and women search and search but never find their passion, their calling, their sense of mission that would ignite their hearts and fill their lives with meaning and joy.

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.

Sulphurous wind gusted in his wake the dust of the street swirled and the folds of his black coat flapped against his thin body.

If I die today, will you remember me tomorrow?The love I'm leaving behind, will you care to borrow? From a snake-shed-skin or from the sky unknownIn all living and the dead I'll dwell to groan

Police officers put the badge on every morning, not knowing for sure if they'll come home at night to take it off.

There is nothing to save, now all is lost, but a tiny core of stillness in the heart like the eye of a violet.

I definitely want to do movies and stuff.

Don't just get through the day, get FROM the day

The dark has to be contained in the light or the light will be contained in the dark.

I think toilets are more important than temples.

I can't see any advantage to fame. I'm happy with the life I have now. I've got the same two friends I've had since I was 12, and I can't see that changing.

Gratitude’s got a short half-life, Clarice.
