I’m partial to the logic of James Howell who once said,

Good wine makes good blood;

Good blood causes good humors;

Good humors cause good thoughts;

Good thoughts bring forth good works;

Good works carry a man to heaven.

Ergo: Good wine carries a man to heaven.

Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away
No matter what they tell you
-From Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda
spoken by Laurens

May those that love us, love us.

And those that don’t love us, may God turn their hearts.

And if He can’t turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles so we’ll know them by their limp.

-Irish toast

Wine is bottled poetry.
-Robert Louis Stevenson
