Wines Quotes

It’s nearly impossible to believe just how provincial the wine world was in 1978, the year I launched my journal, ‘The Wine Advocate.’ There were no wines exported from New Zealand and virtually none from Australia (including Penfolds Grange, one of the greatest wines in existence) Picture Quote #1

I’m very, very family oriented. I’m a big cook and a good connoisseur and I only drink very good red wines now Picture Quote #1

Growing old is God’s privilege to you..... you only can be compared to any antique and old wine...antiques are expensive and old wines taste best........above all, it beats the alternative -- DYING YOUNG. So cheer up and be grateful that God is giving you that privilege Picture Quote #1

Wine glasses, like fine wines, have always been a symbol of civilized living Picture Quote #1

The premise of Nossiter in ‘Mondovino’ would have been a lot more accurate when I started writing about wine in 1978 than when the movie was made in 2003. When I started, I was enormously critical of California wines, and I thought the entire wine industry was on a real slippery slope Picture Quote #1

I don’t really have a life outside of movies. But I like to climb mountains and walk the dogs. I like fine wines and good restaurants Picture Quote #1

In real life, I don’t fall in love with the guy who wines and dines me, I fall in love with the flaws and the humanity Picture Quote #1

The first duty of wine is to be red. Don’t talk to me of your white wines Picture Quote #1

There is nothing in the world like the extraordinary Shiraz and Grenache wines from South Australia. While the most sought-after are undeniably expensive (they’re made in tiny quantities from ancient vines), they are huge, rich and concentrated, and represent some of planet Earth’s most compelling wines Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There are many great wine producers from all over the world making fantastic wines. Italian wines especially are making an enormous comeback after sometimes being labeled as inexpensive jug wines Picture Quote #1

Black wines have become the rage over the last 20 years. I prefer our wines to be red Picture Quote #1

Buy ammunition! Remember that a man cannot have too many books, too many wines, or too much ammunition. Our adversaries on the other side are reaching for the excuse of lead poisoning. If they can push that idea through, you may wind up still owning your guns but without anything to shoot in them Picture Quote #1

French wines may be said but to pickle meat in the stomach, but this is the wine that digests, and doth not only breed good blood, but it nutrifieth also, being a glutinous substantial liquor; of this wine, if of any other, may be verified that merry induction: That good wine makes good blood, good blood causeth good humors, good humors cause good thoughts, good thoughts bring forth good works, good works carry a man to heaven, ergo, good wine carrieth a man to heaven Picture Quote #1

I like sweet wines. My idea has always been that when you’re young, you like sweet wines; and then you get sophisticated, and you drink dry white; and then you get knowledgeable, and you drink heavy reds; and then you get old, and you drink sweet again Picture Quote #1

Anyone who tries to make you believe that he knows all about wines is obviously a fake Picture Quote #1

Fine worries, like fine wines, are at their best only after they have been properly mellowed Picture Quote #1

And with the money from your corn, from your rents, and from the issues of pleas in your courts, and from your stock, arrange the expenses of your kitchen and your wines and your wardrobe and the wages of servants, and subtract your stock Picture Quote #1

Wines are like people. Some are perfect but boring, some are precocious but fail to live up to their promise, and some may be flawed, but the way they may develop is endlessly fascinating Picture Quote #1

As far as a cocktail, I do like good wines, basically with meals, and good champagnes Picture Quote #1

For one country is different from another; its earth is different, as are its stones, wines, bread, meat, and everything that grows and thrives in a specific region Picture Quote #1

It may be a mistake to mix different wines, but old and new wisdom mix admirably Picture Quote #1
