We plan our newsletter schedule months in advance, and, as such, could not have anticipated the unprecedented challenges the coronavirus has presented. This holds especially true for our friends in Italy. There is no guidebook on how best to approach situations such as this, so we huddled together to determine the best path forward. Do we continue with our plan to highlight the wines of Italy as scheduled or hold off for another day? Ultimately, we decided the best way we can assist our friends abroad was to continue as planned. Now feels like the perfect time to rally around one of the greatest winemaking countries of the world and celebrate the ties that everybody feels at a moment like this. Please join us as we highlight the wines of this remarkable region and the committed folks who make them possible.
