A man hath no better thing under the sun than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry.–Book of Ecclesiastes, c. 225 BC

The Book of Ecclesiastes is from the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament. It contains reflections on the meaning of life. “This book gives Christians a chance to see the world through the eyes of a person who, though very wise, is trying to find meaning in temporary, human things. Most every form of worldly pleasure is explored by the Preacher, and none of it gives him a sense of meaning,” says Got Questions. Neither the writer nor the date have been directly identified, but some of it is certainly by Solomon.

When men drink, then they are rich and successful and win lawsuits and are happy and help their friends. Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever.–Aristophanes, 424 BC

Aristophanes was a Greek comic writer and the son of Philippus. Most of his plays were political satires highlighting the troubles in Athens during that period. Many were performed at festivals, and were watched and voted for by the people. Unfortunately, out of the 40 plays he wrote, only 11 survive today.

From Burgundy, land of emerald pastures, grapevines, giant white cows, and looping two-lane roads where tractors stop for crossing snails or lost chickens…no joke…

Somehow the wildflowers found their way into our watering can (made of plastic). We made about 10 bouquets for the house, and for friends, and put the rest in buckets and…watering cans…

The whole Mediterranean, the sculpture, the palm, the gold beads, the bearded heroes, the wine, the ideas, the ships, the moonlight, the winged gorgons, the bronze men, the philosophers -all of it seems to rise in the sour, pungent taste of these black olives between the teeth. A taste older than meat, older than wine. A taste as old as cold water.–Lawrence Durell

Lawrence Durrell (1912-1990), who wrote the modern classic Prospero’s Cell (1945) about time spent in Corfu, was born in India but spent most of his life abroad. Though educated in Britain, he resisted affiliation with Britain and preferred to be considered cosmopolitan. He was a novelist, poet, dramatist, and travel writer.

Ellas piden, ellas deciden

“¿Qué buscan las mujeres en un vino? Lo mismo que los hombres: vinos con carácter, interés y a buen precio. Si usted cree que prefieren Chardonnays glicéricos antes que Zinfandels con mucho cuerpo, piénselo dos veces.”(Agi Toth, educadora vinícola).
