“Only a fool tries to reconstruct a bunch of grapes from a bottle of wine.”
“Nuts don’t come in bunches. Only grapes do.”
“Wine is so complex, I mused. Thousands of experts and hundreds of thousands of amateur experts would rhapsodize or vilify the vinification of these seemingly simple bunches of grapes. But in the end, it was just these innocuous clusters, photosynthesis, rain or no rain, cool ocean breezes, alluvial soils, that produced these epiphanies in the bottle hundreds and thousands of miles away.”
“Sometimes the sweetest wine is squeezed from the grapes of wrath”
“Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.”
“guilt to motherhood is like grapes to wine”
