Amy: I never knew you drank wine. Doctor: I'm 1103 I must have drunk it sometime in my life. *takes sip and spits it out in disgust*
Musicals are to the theater what wines are to a substantial dinner.
Either give me more wine or leave me alone.
Mind you, it’s all bullshit with wine, isn’t it? It’s just f**king vinegar with a fizz, no matter what the tasters say.
I'm really, really dumb about describing wine, but I like wine that's full-bodied and dry.
Good cheese needs good companions.
The first wine I drank, a Chateau Haut-Brion, I was 22, it was my first glass of wine, and I discovered voluptuousness. From there, I started tasting French wines, then Spanish wines, then Italian wines.
I love cooking with wine.
In Spain, you can go into any tapas bar, and you'll see anchovies all over the menu.
There are thousands of wines that can take over our minds. Don't think all ecstasies are the same!
I thrive on cheese and champagne.
Although I generally avoid the cloyingly sweet wines, I have used them for poaching fruit.
My fantasy is to have a restaurant where there are no written menus, but where you just ask people, 'What are you in the mood for? Fish? Meat? White wine?'
I enjoyed retirement the right way... linguine con vongole, red wine and plenty of truffle cheese.
When I was 17 or 18 I wanted to become a wine expert, and my parents wouldn't let me drink. So I was devastated. All I could do was read, and I read and I read. And I'd read something like, you know, 'Subtle hints of cassis.'
