Wine always inspires sociability.

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.

Many contemporary critics of higher education similarly posit a Golden Age but no one knows when it was supposed to exist.

When I pray for another person, I am praying for God to open my eyes so that I can see that person as God does, and then enter into the stream of love that God already directs toward that person.

If I don't feel right about what I'm in, I don't feel right about anything.

If you eat dead, toasted, fried or frozen food, you will feel dead, toasted, fried and frozen.

I have surrounded myself with very smart people.

Nobody knows when you make an effort or when you plant a seed if it will bear fruit or not.

Ruthless striving, overcomes everything.

Being on the ballot is a lot different than getting in.

A career in sport is almost impossible to manage without the support, and guidance, and reassurance of family and friends. During tough times, and there always are, this is whom we go to.

When I'm in New York, I just want to walk down the street and feel this thing, like I'm in a movie.
