I have drunken deep of joy, And I will taste no other wine tonight.
Close friends contribute to our personal growth. They also contribute to our personal pleasure, making the music sound sweeter, the wine taste richer, the laughter ring louder because they are there.
I don’t know if it’s because of ‘Scandal,’ but I am a huge wine and popcorn fan.
Do not let friars enter your wine cellars for fear they will bless every barrel and change the wine into blood.
The way people connected with wine intrigued me and I wanted to be a part of it.
I don’t go out. I don’t go to clubs. It’s not my thing. I sit at home with my glass of wine and watch hours of reality TV. I have a million shows on my TiVo.
I’m only drinking white wine because I’m on a diet and I don’t eat.
I drink red wine on ice to water it down.
I read a little bit of nonfiction and a lot of poetry. I think of poetry as my shot of whiskey when I don’t have time to savor a whole bottle of wine.
The wine world is so big. Yes, there are styles of wines I don’t like. Orange wine, natural wines and low-alcohol wines. Truth is on my side, and history will prove I am right.
Our very long-term prospective hinges on making the best possible wine we can.
You can enjoy a $15 bottle of wine as much as you can enjoy a $100 bottle of wine.
I never drank except a couple sips of wine at Thanksgiving.
I took up French boys and wine and I studied psychology.
A good margarita, a good red wine, I like expensive alcohol, but not a lot of it. I don’t like to throw up.
I buy things through the ShopStyle app on my phone, then have them delivered to a neighbour so Oliver doesn’t see them arrive. When he’s out, I collect them, cut off the labels, and bury them deep in the recycling box under the wine bottles.
When I pair food and wine, I start with the food. If I have a beautiful roasted bird, I might choose a Cabernet or Pinot Noir, or maybe a Syrah, depending on the sauce and what is in my cellar.
The reality is that I’m making better wine than I thought I would. The whole process is simple but beautiful.
A lot of hard work goes into making a great wine. It requires that same type of dedication and discipline that goes into getting to the Super Bowl as an NFL player.
For me the ideal date would be to drink wine in the backyard under the stars, listen to music and just talk. Then we’d eat steak and, later, dessert. If all went as planned, we’d save some of the dessert and play with it while making out.
Even if you believe a creator god invented the laws of physics, would you so insult him as to suggest that he might capriciously and arbitrarily violate them in order to walk on water, or turn water into wine as a cheap party trick at a wedding?

Too much and too little wine. Give him none, he cannot find truth; give him too much, the same.
Age is just a number. It’s totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.
I hate recording all the shows for the week in one day, because I want to be able to mention current events and pop culture. If Madonna punches Britney in the face today, I want to reference that on ‘Wine Library TV’ tomorrow. Monday’s episode is always the best, because it’s hot off the press.
Cold white wine is so good with fatty, fried food.
Italian wines are my favorites. I like a big, booming red wine that blows your taste buds away.
It means I wake up to sunshine every morning, and I can afford to drink better wine at night. But I haven’t completely sold out to Hollywood.
Language is wine upon the lips.
It is widely held that too much wine will dull a man’s desire. Indeed it will in a dull man.
I couldn’t think of anything worse than drinking a load of gunky-green stuff and sweating in a gym. I would rather sit in front of the TV and have a glass of wine.
I like to pour my wines for people. I watch their eyes, I can see what they’ll like. Most people say they don’t like dry wine because they haven’t had a dry wine that’s clean and fruity, instead of a big, oaky thing.
If talking about arts means being pretentious, a bit like being a wine critic, then I don’t feel comfy with that. You can get a lot from paintings without getting mystical about brush strokes.

Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye; That’s all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die.
Kombucha is a great just-walked-in-the-door, sweet-tart wine replacement.
Basically, I go to the local farmer’s market and decide to what to cook then, depending on what I find. Either my wife or I cook, and we usually finish a bottle or two of wine by the time we are done cooking and eating.
The year 2014 was a big year for my taste buds. They really stepped up their game. Like, I got into red wine, coffee and sushi for the first time. Well done, George.

When I read Deborah Brenner’s book ‘Women of the Vine’ about women wine makers, I was impressed that many of the women she had interviewed had come to wine making later in life as a second career.
I’m a bit of a clothes hoarder, admittedly. I try to weed out stuff. My girlfriends come over for cheese and wine and go shopping in my wardrobe. They especially love it when they get stuff with a tag still on.
I’m a bit of a wine snob and like a glass of Chateaux Margaux ’82 with a meal or to unwind.
Wine has class. I love wine. The drier, the better. But beer? I just can’t do it.
I do make a really great bolognese, and the key is putting good ‘ol wine in there.
If you like a wine that you drink, now with your phone, it’s so easy. Just take a picture of the label. You learn about it. You learn where it comes from and what the soil is like and why you like it. And that’ll lead you to another wine.
I’m really big on day dates. If you go for a stroll, have a picnic or lunch with a glass of wine – it doesn’t get better than that.
Mirth is the sweet wine of human life. It should be offered sparkling with zestful life unto God.
I think what I do differently from a lot of TV chefs is that I break down barriers and make fine food more accessible to the regular person, who might be intimidated. I try hard, particularly with wine, to make it not intimidating. It’s sort of a teaching job.
My dad gave me the gene to enjoy cooking, and to enjoy consuming good food and wine.
Dinner is often a very celebratory environment, a very safe place, a time to reflect and let the day go and enjoy good food and good wine. It’s a very peaceful moment during the day. A great dinner can change your day around.
Wine is similar to music in that it’s a purely experiential realm, and it’s a purely subjective practice. That’s sort of the funny thing about wine criticism or, for that matter, music criticism. At times, those are useful guides, but ultimately it’s all about how you react to that music or wine.
The way I like to cook is to have music going, usually jazz, and something in my hand, usually a glass of wine.
When you a darker brunette and have pale skin like I do, it can wash you out a bit, so learning to contour is really helpful. I think you can be a bit more bold with eye makeup to define your eyes, and the same with lip colors – you can go for dark wine colors, which I love.
A good glass of red wine or maybe a little bit too much every now and then is just fine. Heavy boozing, not so much, because you don’t recover enough from it.
I don’t eat shellfish. I drink wine moderately and have one whiskey every evening before dinner.
There was a point in my 40s when I went into the bathroom with a bottle of wine, locked the door, and said, ‘I’m not coming out until I can totally accept the way that I look right now.’
Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.
Once a year, I take my whole wine team down to see the Giants, and we meet the players. I’ve never seen anyone pitch like Lincecum that can throw the ball and get through the front leg. He has that stiff front leg.
Slipcovers are great because they can be laundered after those all-too-frequent sippy cup and red wine incidents.
Wine gives a man nothing… it only puts in motion what had been locked up in frost.
You know how you wake up in the morning and sometimes you look gorgeous and other times you look like you got hit by a mack truck? I realized that my mack truck is food. If I have no sugar, yeast or wine, I have no undereye bags and my skin is perfect.
I like an occasional glass of wine, though I don’t drink before a shoot or a show – blotchy skin is not a good idea, however good your make-up artist.
The world of wine is more creative than the world of cooking.
Holiday? Is like, what? I’m a hyperactive girl, so it may be boring for me to be on the beach doing nothing. I just need to find a place for three weeks and work but sleep in the morning, maybe write a little bit, have a glass of red wine. That’s my perfect holiday.
Friendship’s the wine of life: but friendship new… is neither strong nor pure.
