I am a great believer in research and innovation.

How beautiful it is to excel, and the goodness of giving from your heart.

The greatest leaders don't rule. They inspire

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.

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.
