If you go back to the Greeks and Romans, they talk about all three - wine, food, and art - as a way of enhancing life.

Wine always inspires sociability.

It is giving me a great satisfaction, because I had the notion that we could make great wines equal to the greatest wines in the world, and everybody said it was impossible.

There are a lot of people with a lot of money, and I'm amazed they don't understand what a great pleasure it can be to give.

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

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

Once I was able to take care of myself and my children, I then wanted to share.
