I prefer old-world wines like Lafite Rothschild and Margaux.

As I've grown older, I've developed an appreciation for wines that are immediately gratifying but that can also provide great satisfaction over several years.

Wine is incredibly sexy.

I'm really, really dumb about describing wine, but I like wine that's full-bodied and dry.

I want to make wines that harmonize with food - wines that almost hug your tongue with gentleness.

I do like my wine.

I love wines, except when I'm dieting.

The reality is that I'm making better wine than I thought I would. The whole process is simple but beautiful.

Well, you know, when you go into a restaurant, one of the scariest things is the wine list, so whenever I'm really feeling intimidated, I'll just pick a wine type, like a Chianti or Brunello or a Burgundy, and I'll pick a year that's missing and ask for that one.

Wine is wonderful stuff. But so many people are put off by the snobbery of it.
