Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.

People who wonder if the glass is half empty or half full are totally missing the point - the glass is refillable. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (and ladies too for that matter).
Thomas Aquinas
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.
From Joe Bastianich
Essentially wines are fermented grape juice, so I'm trying to make the point that the wine world is about scores and marketing, and kind of creating a scarce resource where they don't really exist.
The words of Edmund Burke
Under the pressure of the cares and sorrows of our mortal condition, men have at all times, and in all countries, called in some physical aid to their moral consolations - wine, beer, opium, brandy, or tobacco.,
Baudelaire
"It is the hour to be drunken, to escape being the martyred slaves of time, to be ceaseslessly drunk. On wine, on poetry, or on virtue, as you wish." (Personally, it's a bit early for me, but that's what the man said).
Wine words from Horace
Wine brings to light the hidden secrets of the soul, gives being to our hopes, bids the coward flight, drives dull care away, and teaches new means for the accomplishment of our wishes.
Monday morning musings
Like human beings, a wine's taste is going to depend very much on its origins and its upbringing. Linda Johnson-Bell.

But, nothing daunted, look out, I'm on my way!
