*** One of the great columnists of the 20th century, Art Buchwald, on wine writing:
“When it came to writing about wine, I did what almost everybody does – faked it.”
*** Chef and author Jasper White, on matching food and wine:
“I haven’t had much luck in pairing red wine with lobster.”
*** Actress Brigitte Bardot, on the impact of sparkling wine:
“Champagne is the only thing that gives me zest when I am tired.”
*** Madame de Pompadour, with another viewpoint on sparkling wine:
“Champagne is the only wine that leaves a woman beautiful after drinking it.”
*** And one final sparkling observation, this from singer Tina Turner:
“Whenever I drink Champagne, I either laugh or cry… get so emotional! I love Champagne.”
