Grape harvesting and winemaking are old traditions—both of humankind and at Santa Clara. Often we imbibe in communion with one another and God. As this magazine goes to press, those in-person exchanges of thoughts and feelings are on hold in an attempt to quell a new, global virus. It is our dearest hope that by the time this magazine reaches you, we can again raise a glass together, in-person and in fellowship. We send this out with a prayer for the health of us all. In that spirit: saluti, sante, salud, prost, chúc sú’c khoe—or simply, good health to you!
