Paris Cafe's

Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and sweet as love.

-Turkish Proverb

In Europe we thought of wine as something as healthy and normal as food and also a great giver of happiness and well-being and delight. Drinking wine was not a snobbism nor a sign of sophistication nor a cult; it was as natural as eating and to me as necessary.

-ERNEST HEMMINGWAY, expatriate and writer

Wine is bottled poetry.

-ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON, writer
