There can never be any substitute for your own palate nor any better education than tasting the wine yourself.

I took my .38 out and looked to see that there were bullets in all the proper places. I knew there would be, but it did no harm to be careful. And I'd seen Clint Eastwood do it once in the movies.

There's something about being able to literally consume a work of art - then to divide all that pleasure of it - because it's a memory. A great wine for me is a memory, it's an extraordinary experience.

I think at this stage in my life I have learned that there are any number of things that men will never know, and can never hope to know, about women.
