Robert M Parker Jr Quotes

At 66 years of age, I feel about 20 Picture Quote #1
The primary requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite Picture Quote #1
Fettuccine Alfredo is dangerous for your health Picture Quote #1
The wine world is so big. Yes, there are styles of wines I don’t like. Orange wine, natural wines and low-alcohol wines. Truth is on my side, and history will prove I am right Picture Quote #1
My personal philosophy is, you can be sure of nothing Picture Quote #1
As far as vintage Champagne goes, I loved 1990; it’s a great, great vintage. I bought a lot of 1990 Blanc de Blancs Champagne - my favorite kind - and I plan on drinking it all by 2005 Picture Quote #1

Back in 1990, there were fewer than 20 wineries in and around Paso Robles, a farming community midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Most of the wines produced there were rustic, highly tannic and alcoholic, with little charm or finesse Picture Quote #1
There is nothing in the world like the extraordinary Shiraz and Grenache wines from South Australia. While the most sought-after are undeniably expensive (they’re made in tiny quantities from ancient vines), they are huge, rich and concentrated, and represent some of planet Earth’s most compelling wines Picture Quote #1
The advantage we have as Americans is that we can be fair; we tend to be more open-minded about different styles of wine Picture Quote #1
The premise of Nossiter in ‘Mondovino’ would have been a lot more accurate when I started writing about wine in 1978 than when the movie was made in 2003. When I started, I was enormously critical of California wines, and I thought the entire wine industry was on a real slippery slope Picture Quote #1
It’s nearly impossible to believe just how provincial the wine world was in 1978, the year I launched my journal, ‘The Wine Advocate.’ There were no wines exported from New Zealand and virtually none from Australia (including Penfolds Grange, one of the greatest wines in existence) Picture Quote #1
After years of infertility tests, the best decision we ever made was to adopt, and in 1987, we were bestowed a three-month-old baby girl from an island off the south coast of Korea called Cheju Island Picture Quote #1

I always said your best palate is your own, not mine. I’m a guidepost Picture Quote #1
Wine to me is something that brings people together. Wine does promote conversation and promote civility, but it’s also fascinating. It’s the greatest subject to study. No matter how much you learn, every vintage is going to come at you with different factors that make you have to think again Picture Quote #1
The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make Picture Quote #1
No viticultural region in America has demonstrated as much progress in quality and potential for greatness as... the Santa Barbara region, where the Burgundian varietals Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are planted in its cooler climates Picture Quote #1
These are the people who do studies that your carry-out Chinese meals are saturated in fat. I’d just like to meet them! I mean, what do they do for pleasure? Picture Quote #1

I’ve always followed the rule that anything worth doing is worth doing excessively Picture Quote #1
Part of life is to live it, and enjoy it, and seize the moments that you find particularly pleasing Picture Quote #1
No sane man can afford to dispense with debilitating pleasures; no ascetic can be considered reliably sane Picture Quote #1
When I put my nose in a glass, it’s like tunnel vision. I move into another world, where everything around me is just gone, and every bit of mental energy is focused on that wine Picture Quote #1
