The COVID-19 pandemic is really getting out of hand.
It was early last year when COVID first surfaced in the world, and here in this country we were seemingly not as concerned as at first it was not directly affecting us. But now, over a year and half since its discovery in Wuhan, China, the devastation is hitting much harder and closer to home. Suddenly it is truly scary, and we all may have direct relatives, close friends, and even heard of well-known personalities who have had the virus. My own sister and her entire family were infected – thankfully they have fully recovered already.

The Italian wine world is mourning the loss of Pio Boffa, head of the historic Pio Cesare firm. He died this weekend after a two-week battle with Covid-19.
Dynamic and charismatic, Boffa was a dedicated promoter of his native Langa in Piedmont and its wines, including Barolo and Barbaresco.
“Pio Boffa was a point of reference,” says Matteo Ascheri, president of the Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Dogliani. “He was both a person and the company, so much so that he was almost always referred to as Pio Cesare and not by his own name. He tirelessly traveled the world and became an ambassador for his own firm and for all our wines.
