The very best of vineyards is the cellar
What's important in a cellar is having wines that have a broad range of drinkability, which California Cabernet does. Wines with a broad range of drinkability give you a lot of flexibility; they are the sort of wines that make me feel secure. I think of my wine cellar as security - if the apocalypse comes, I can just go down to the cellar.
I don't do anything by halves and wine is an expensive passion.
I'm a bit of a wine snob and like a glass of Chateaux Margaux '82 with a meal or to unwind.
I'm not a real big wine drinker. I enjoy wine from a distance.
One client's wife managed to steam the labels off all of the several hundred bottles in her husband's prestigious wine collection, so the collection was worthless. The husband hosted 'What's that wine?' dinner parties.
I love wine tasting in Napa. I don't have a huge collection, but the bottles I do have are special.
What I like to drink most is wine that belongs to others.
I didn't even like white wine. Then I tasted it and bought a case. It was the first case of any wine I'd ever bought.
If you are not proud of your cellar, there is no thrill of satisfaction in seeing your guest hold up his wineglass to the light and look judicial.
Good wine is a necessity of life for me.
To buy very good wine nowadays requires only money. To serve it to your guests is a sign of fatigue.
I love to cook, my husband and I collect wine, and in my head, I am always on Sullivan's Island, walking the beach listening to the song of the ocean.
