Wine Quotes
.. "The history of American wine has from the earliest days been one of constant tension among opposing political, social and cultural forces." New York Times reviewer Frank J. Prial, writing about American Vintage, a book by Paul Lukacs.

.. "We're at a crossroads. The fight for the soul of wine has begun." Wine columnist Matt Kramer (in Wine Spectator), commenting on the increasing use of reverse osmosis (ultrafine filtration) by wine producers in Australia, Bordeaux and California.

.. "You learn to appreciate smells a lot as a winemaker." Stacy Clark, winemaker at Pine Ridge Winery in the Napa Valley, on similarities between making wine and soap. (San Francisco Chronicle)

Quips Comment
