Wine Talker Prints

'There are only 4 tastes, but thousands of smells - believe me, you don't know what you're missing.'

The Vineyard

"Vintage? What would you like it to be?"

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

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

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

"Is there any way I can un-drink this wine?"

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

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

'No, you're not calling at a bad time. I'm a professional wine taster - it's alwasys a good time.'

'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.'

'Wine, high octane grape juice.'

"My wife commissioned a portrait of me."

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

'So much for your theory that mixing two 50-point-rated wines equals one rated 100.'

Opening the Barrel

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

"I'm getting cinnamon, brandy, nutmeg, a hint of Alsatian."

'George, you're supposed to be tasting the wine, not seeing what effect it has.'

I'm getting an ample full taste... I'm getting whimsical... I'm getting 'red'

'I've written six books on wine; owned my own winery and taught a wine class for two years. My next goal is to taste some.'

Portfolio, 2011

"Could I have a bottle of the Chateau Lafitte '67 but filled with the wine from Tesco 2019."

'I'm doing a wine tasting course, it's fascinating. . .'

The virtual wine tasting was a big success

'There's over 500,000 different wines? Bernie, we've got work to do!'

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

'Well, we turned water into wine. Anyone remember how?'

Wine Talking

"As it happens, we don't produce any beer flavored wine."

"My word, this really is impressive! Lots of people have a personal trainer but a personal wine advisor, wow!"

'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.'

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

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

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