HOSTS Chilean Ambassador Alvaro Domingo Jara Bucarey (right) and Francesco Montenegro with a bottle of Allan Banford —Margaux Salcedo I will admit that Chilean wines are not top of mind for me. But maybe that mindset must change! Last week, we got to try a bottle from the Signature Wine Series of a Chilean label called Allan Banford and it was easy to appreciate. This one was called Jupiter and while it may not fly you to the moon, it can certainly make you play among the stars! So if you want to see what spring is like on Jupiter—as the lyric goes—try this Chilean wine! It is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with 10 percent Cabernet Franc and 5 percent Petit Verdot, resulting in a full-bodied wine, but somehow manages to still be pleasant and not too overbearing.

As legend has it, near the tail end of the Revolutionary War, officers of the Patriot army made an offer to George Washington: to make him the first king of the United States. If this urban myth is true, his refusal made it possible for America to be established as the democratic republic it is today. But what if General Washington had accepted, becoming King George I of America?  Our Royal Hyperfixation The jarring truth is America may not have looked as unrecognizable as we imagine with a king at its head.

New Haven, Conn. — High levels of exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19 may reduce or overcome the protection that vaccination and prior infection provides, according to a new study by researchers from Yale University, the University of Florida, and the Connecticut Department of Correction. The findings, published Aug. 19 in Nature Communications , suggest that in densely crowded settings, control measures that reduce levels of exposure to the virus — such as masking, improved ventilation, and distancing — may afford additional benefit in preventing new infections among people who have been vaccinated or previously infected.
