  • The purpose of wine is to be enjoyed.

  • Expensive doesn't necessarily mean I'll enjoy it more.

  • I am my own best judge of wine quality.

  • Most wines are good wines.

  • Experimentation is fun.

  • Advice is free for the asking.

  • Every bottle of wine is a live performance.

  • I'll never know . . . until I try it!
