It was like discovering a wine-cellar filled with bottles of amazing wine of a kind and flavour never tasted before. It quite intoxicated me.”
J.R.R Tolkien
“I love everything that is old; old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wines.”
Oliver Goldsmith
The Vicar of Wakefield
“Wine has been part of civilized life for seven thousand years. It is the only beverage that feeds the body, soul and spirit of man and at the same time stimulates the mind.”
Robert Mondavi
“Wine & friends are a great blend.”
Ernest Hemingway
“Studying wine taught me that there was a very big difference between soil and dirt: dirt is to soil what zombies are to humans. Soil is full of life, while dirt is devoid of it.”
Olivier Magny
Into Wine: AnInvitation to Pleasure
“In the abstract art of cooking,
ingredients trump appliances,
passion supersedes expertise,
creativity triumphs over technique,
spontaneity inspires invention,
and wine makes even the worst culinary disaster taste delicious.”
Bob Blumer
“Age appears best in four things: old wood to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust and old authors to read.”
Francis Bacon
“To take wine into our mouths is to savor a droplet of the river of human history”
Clifton Fadiman
“Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough,
A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse - and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness -
And Wilderness is Paradise enow.”
Omar Khayyám
The Rubaiyat
“The connoisseur does not drink wine but tastes of its secrets.”
Salvador Dali
“Wine is a living liquid containing no preservatives. Its life cycle comprises youth, maturity, old age and death. When not treated with reasonable respect it will weaken and die.”
Julia Child
“Wine enters through the mouth,
Love, the eyes.
I raise the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, I sigh.”
William Butler Yeats
