The greatest leaders don't rule. They inspire

Ever since I was a child, I wanted to excel in everything.

I say to consumers: instead of relying totally on critics, drink what you like and like what you drink.

Also, many consumers consider a critic to be like God Almighty.

Whether I played marbles, whether I played football or slam anything else, I wanted to excel.

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

Even more importantly, it's wine, food and the arts. Incorporating those three enhances the quality of life.
