The Vineyard

"And for my next trick. . . turning wine back into water."

"I'm not weird I'm a 'person of weirdness'."

'My luck, I buy a bottle of wine from 450 B.C. and it's still five years from reaching maturity.'

"We're hoping for a really smooth wine here."

'Wine, high octane grape juice.'

'As Chuck's definition of terroir dragged past the 20-minute mark, Suzy concluded, the longer the explanation, the less likely you know what the word means.'

'It's the essence of springtime. You're really enjoying it.'

'I'm down to a pack of neuroses a day.'

"Hmmm ... perhaps a pinot noir less spilly?"

Wine Talking

"Can you recommend a nice red wine that goes well with a broken heart?"

'I don't actually want to learn so much that I become a wine buff - just a wine snob!'

'No, I can't remember the name of the wine, but it did come in a bottle about this tall, if that's any help.'

'Could I just get one that's wine flavored?'

"I've joined a wine-lovers club. . . so far there are only three members."
