Interesting. The article mentions agave Americana—never heard of it—but agave weber azul would be the wise choice. It’s precocious, seven years to ripen versus ten, with higher fermentable sugars. Get the ovens and tahona ready. www.larvf.com/face-au-chan...
L'innovation audacieuse de Chapoutier : planter de l'agave pour faire face au changement climatique
On ne trouve pas que de la vigne dans la vallée du Rhône. L’agave, qui sert au Mexique à fabriquer la tequila et le mezcal, a fait son apparition dans le domaine gardois de la Maison Chapoutier.

The first natural wine I ever tasted was in 1982. It was a Coturri red and it was godawful. May have set organic wine back some, even though it was the lack of sulfites mostly that made it bad. Anyway, Mr. Coturri is an icon today, and deservedly so.

Oy vey, when will it end. Yes, you will enjoy your dinner less when you eat it in a toilet after someone has pinched a loaf. But this makes it seem like wine lovers are demanding and overly fussy. Not so. Use your brain.
