Those are my favorite dates, when we can just cook together and share a bottle of wine and cozy up next to the fire.
It’s not easy for anybody in a position of responsibility… There are some very unpleasant meetings. I try to think what nice things will come after my meetings are over… having a nice glass of wine.

Funny you mention my dinner parties when I have just suggested that inviting close friends over to share a meal with candlelight and wine at your table could be a form of religious experience for some people. To me it’s a form of sacrament.

I’m not a Luddite, but I’m outside more than I’m on my computer. We have a micro-farm – it’s a step up from a garden. We have a pretty extensive vineyard. We grow about 60 percent of our own food, make our own wine, have chickens for eggs.
