My wife taught me the importance of living well.

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.

REGARDING THE MARCHING BAND: How much more interesting it would be to see a creeping band.

Why is it a man can never seem to buckle down and train himself to indolence and stupidity when he can see what sanctuary they offer from toil and pain?

Dreaming of another time, Dreaming of clasping your hands so tight, Dreaming of another time, Dreaming of the shipwreck that is in my heart would end

The only personYou shouldn't be ableTo live withoutIs you.

Maybe that's just what nostalgia is: a willingness to embrace the pain of the past.

I don't see myself as a diva at all.

I feel it's most important to keep it real and enjoy each moment, you know, take advantage of every opportunity life provides, because who knows what tomorrow may bring

I don't have to be nice to people who are causing great damage to the nation.

In order for the Prevail Scenario to work ... you will have to have a world in which you have both differences between people and opportunities for intense connectedness.

Work isn't really work for me.
