Wine Quote this month!

"Wine is a living liquid containing no preservatives. Its life cycle comprises youth, maturity, old age, and death. When not treated with reasonable respect it will sicken and die. A wise man will drink wine in moderation, respecting its existence. Then wine will be good to the taste, the spirit will be uplifted, and cheerfulness will prevail." - Louis Pasteur
