Isabelle Legeron MW's wine fair has seen success introducing a notion of natural wine to underexposed export markets. Will it fly in Paris, where more radical natural wine is abundant and cheap?
Sometimes to be a natural wine lover or producer in the New World feels a little like joining a cargo cult... we craft our coconut headphones & fell palms to build our flight towers, living & working on organic vineyards, attending to natural ferments.
When I started out in the industry I only had a vague idea of the precious cargo I was waiting to see arrive, thanks to Aaron among others I've now a clearer idea -- but the scars of enclosure & primitive accumulation are livid where I am.
Without wanting to sound like I'm appropriating the truer struggle of BIPOC comrades, where does the work of cultural revival begin (or end) following the genocide of the English-speaking peasantry ?
it's a slippery slope , The movement is on the verge of being hijacked
