But nice weather could reduce that increase.
More people gathering indoors, many of them unmasked and some of them not vaccinated against COVID-19, could cause the virus to spread, said Melissa Lyon, Erie County Department of Health director. It s a wait-and-see game. I think warmer weather will help keep the case counts down, just like last summer Lyon said. But I will be more confident once we get through the next few weeks.
Pennsylvania businesses, including taverns and restaurants, will be allowed to open to 100% of their maximum capacity, and events will not have crowd-size limits, starting Monday. The only COVID-19 mitigation policy that will remain in effect on that date is that unvaccinated people still need to wear face masks in public.
Remembering 2 California Wine Pioneers
Clendenen was 68. Bruce was 89.
These men were iconic figures in California’s world of fine wine, but not in the way many people think of domestic wine history: They were producers of great cabernet sauvignons that can win head-to-head contests with mighty Bordeaux.
Cabernet put California on the international wine stage. Today’s cabs command outrageous prices and are considered highly collectible the world over.
What Clendenen and Bruce did, with far less public recognition, was shine a spotlight on two grape varieties that decades ago had checkered histories and were always poorly understood. Their efforts helped fixed that.
