After A Day Of Harvesting Grapes...

All about wine.

" Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, any other purely sensory thing. "
Ernest Hemingway
" I love everything that is old; old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine. "
Oliver Goldsmith, The Vicar of Wakefield
" A bottle of wine begs to be shared; I never met a miserly wine lover. "
Clifton Fadiman
" The juice of the grape is the liquid quintessence of concentrated sunbeams. "
Thomas Love Peacock, Melincourt; or Sir Oran Hautton
" Anyone can produce a blend full of complexity, but a monovarietal that exudes complex layers is a sign of a master winemaker. "
Tony Margiotta
" It is no coincidence that, on all four sides, in all four corners, the borders of the Roman Empire stopped where wine could no longer be made. "
Neel Burton
" Always carry a corkscrew and the wine shall present itself. "
Basil Bunting
" The simplest definition of a great bottle of wine is when you feel sad because the bottle is empty. "
Tony Margiotta
