Wine always inspires sociability.

I am a great believer in research and innovation.

America was built on the can-do spirit and will continue to thrive on the can-do spirit.

I've always wanted to improve on the idea of living well, In moderation, wine is good for you - mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Later, at Stanford University, I thought I'd become a lawyer or businessman, but my father came to me and said he thought there was a big future in the fine-wine business.

Wine to me is passion. It's family and friends. It's warmth of heart and generosity of spirit.

I feel blessed. So many men and women search and search but never find their passion, their calling, their sense of mission that would ignite their hearts and fill their lives with meaning and joy.
