Wine always inspires sociability.

Wine to me is all about sharing.

We definitely need to get the excitement back.

We want to raise the art of living well.

Wine has been with us since the beginning of civilization. It is the temperate, civilized, sacred, romantic mealtime beverage recommended in the Bible. Wine has been praised for centuries by statesmen, philosophers, poets, and scholars. Wine in moderation is an integral part of our culture, heritage and gracious way of life.

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