Michael Broadbent quotes:

Drinking good wine with good food in good company is one of life's most civilized pleasures.

Food and wine. Decide which is the soloist, which the accompanist.

Wines are like people. Some are perfect but boring, some are precocious but fail to live up to their promise, and some may be flawed, but the way they may develop is endlessly fascinating.

You do not need to be an expert, or even particularly interested in wine, in order to enjoy drinking it. But tasting is not the same as drinking. Drinking pleases, mellows, loosens the tongue and inhibitions; drinking wine with food is healthy and natural; drinking good wine with good food in good company is one of life's most civilized pleasures.

A sight of the label is worth 50 years experience.

There are many wines that taste great, but do not drink well

What a life, without wine!
