Wine always inspires sociability.

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.

We want to raise the art of living well.

Critics have done the wine industry a lot of good overall.

My brother and I had saved $15,000 by working many years nailing fruit crates together.

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.
