I like to drink young wines, wines which are robust and have a lot of forward fruit to them.

My favorite wines are Zinfandels.

I don't drink coffee. I like nice wines with dinner.

It's been dry so it's made some wonderful wine. Of course most of our wines are done with fruit. The same thing happens there. If it's a sweeter fruit it makes a little bit better wine. So it's been a good year for making wine.

I think every young cook wants to write a book.

If you're just looking for a group of easy wines to drink (in the) summer, should you pay $30 a bottle? Absolutely not. Never start by buying the most expensive wines.
