The famous German poet once was asked which three things
he would take to an island. He stated:
"Poetry, a beautiful woman and enough bottles of the
world's finest wines to survive this dry period!"
Then he was asked what he would leave back first, if it was
allowed to take only two things to the island. And he briefly
replied:
"The poetry!"
Slightly surprised, the man asked the next question:
"And Sir, what would you leave back if only one was allowed?"
And Goethe thought for a couple of minutes and answered:
"It depends on the vintage!"
Johann Wolfgang Goethe

The Wine List Wine is a pure reflection of its terroir and no other simple product sums up its cultural,
geographical and historical origins in quite the same way.
