The good talk that is inseparable from a wine dinner is even
more important than the wines that are being served. Never bring up your better

a night when those few who are nearest to your heart can gather round your
table, free from care, with latchkeys in their pockets and no last train to
catch." ~ Maurice Healy

empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans. ~ Ernest Hemingway

those in bitter distress; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember
their misery no more. ~ Proverbs 31 67
At times we ought to drink even to intoxication, not so as
to drown, but merely to dip ourselves in wine, for wine washes away troubles
and dislodges them from the depths of the mind and acts as a remedy to sorrow
as it does to some diseases. The inventor of wine is called Liber, not from the
license which he gives to our tongues but because he liberates the mind from
the bondage of cares and emancipates it, animates it and renders it more daring
in all that it attempts. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

with age. ~ Pope John Paul XXIII
