Posted on Thursday, October 27, 2011

"Wine is bottled poetry."  Robert Louis Stevenson

"Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy." Ben Franklin

"What is the definition of a good wine? It should start and end with a smile."  William Sokolin

"Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine." Thomas Aquinas

"Age appears to be best in four things: old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read." Francis Bacon

"I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food." Julia Childs

"We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine." Eduardo Galeano

"Italian wine was something rough and red that came in a straw-covered flask with a candle stuck in its neck, the empty bottle was an unmistakable badge of sophomore spohistication."  Nancy Harmon

 

And once again proving that old proverbs are still the best....

"It is well to remember that there are five reasons for drinking: the arrival of a friend, one's present or future thirst, the excellence of the wine, or any other reason." Latin Proverb
