Right, here’s another post – this time about biodynamics. On Friday 12th June I took part in (?) two Instagram Chats, hosted by Keith Edwards, who has a great blog, as well as an apparently limitless cellar.  These chats were about biodynamics – the first with a...

So, from 18th May we have been allowed out again in a form much more redolent of our lives before Corona virus.  In Piemonte, we chose to wait until Saturday 23rd May: here in Alba, the squares were full, people were chatting, getting their coffee or aperitivo...

As some of you may be aware, with the, ahem, change in circumstances around the world, we have to think of innovative ways to keep going! With this in mind, a few weeks ago I put up a post outlining how you could buy wines from some great producers here in Piemonte...

I know I said the next one would be about wine…But, given the circumstances (which have actually changed very little) and the fact that I have been a bit under the weather for the past 10 days… May the 4th (be with you) marked the first day that lockdown restrictions...

Right, I am going you-know-what free this time… The little wine offering that I put forward a couple of weeks or so ago has had some results!  A few cases sold, from Riesling (yes, we have it in the Langhe, and it is very good…) through traditional whites such as...

Not much News... ...Though what there is is good...So, what’s the situation in Italy with Corona virus now?  Lockdown is as before, and the rates of infection, hospitalisation, ICU beds occupied and fatalities are: down, down, down and stable at under 3%...

Well, I have been working on a way to get producers here, who are in lockdown, connected with you out there, who are very likely in lockdown. It’s been over four weeks for the entire country here, with an extension until at least 13thApril – indeed, it feels as if we...

Once again we have had several days of slowing in the rate of fatalities.  The past two days have been under 5%, and both the number of people hospitalised and those in ICU beds has fallen for two days in a row.  The measures taken are working, but people...

Given that my last post (oh dear, bad choice of words) wasn’t especially jolly – though I think I did put in at least an element of hope – I have written a more upbeat one here.  It’s a couple of weeks further down the road from when I scared myself by reading...

Ciao Tutti, Hope is all well in your world, wherever and whatever that is. This is the briefest of posts to say that I have been working tirelessly for some minutes this week in order to update the Producers page on PiemonteMio.  This is now done - for now, of...
