It\u2019s just about a year now that the Covid-19 pandemic has been upon us.\u00a0 As with most people, we at Power Tasting<\/em> have been staying home in order to stay safe.\u00a0 Wineries in the United States and Europe have been closed, open, closed, open depending on the current state of infections in each locality.\u00a0 For those of us who enjoy travelling for wine tasting, 2020 was a barren year and 2021 isn\u2019t starting any better.<\/p>\n

And yet we have published Power Tasting<\/em> every month as though the pandemic had never happened.\u00a0 [Actually, that\u2019s not entirely true.\u00a0 Our May 2020 edition was about wine tasting during the lockdown.]\u00a0 That\u2019s because, as we say in our mission statement on our home page, we are writing to the vacationer, not the connoisseur.\u00a0 And since few people can go on vacation all the time, our monthly articles are intended to give readers a virtual visit to Wine Country on the device of their choice.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to continue publishing these wine tasting vignettes every month.\u00a0 Since the governor of California has just lifted restrictions on public gatherings, our mailbox has been full of announcements for tastings at our favorite wineries.\u00a0 Sadly, we won\u2019t be going and unless you live nearby, you probably won\u2019t be either.\u00a0 Please continue to travel with us, all the while staying safe, until we all can get on the road again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
