IS MEZCAL SCALABLE? As demand for mezcal surges, producers take stock of the challenges—and opportunities—that lie ahead

f it seems like mezcal is everywhere these days, it’s because it is. The spirit has gone from niche to impact player in the span of a decade, and the numbers back that up.

IWSR Drinks Market Analysis reports that mezcal sales by volume in the U.S. increased 24.8 percent in 2019, and 14.5 percent in 2020, and it forecasts a 10.5 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2021 and 2025. The latest data from the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States shows that the combined agave category, incorporating tequila and mezcal, grew 30.1 percent in sales value, or $1.2 billion, between 2020 and 2021. With $5.2 billion in sales, agave ranks ahead of American whiskey and behind only vodka in the U.S.

12 BIN 2022

All of this growth isn't mere happenstance; within the past five years, every major spirits industry player has waded into mezcal's smoky waters. In 2017, Pernod Ricard announced a majority investment in Del Maguey, and in 2020, they announced a partnership with Ojo de Tigre Mezcal. Bacardi acquired a minority stake in Ilegal Mezcal in 2017; Sazerac launched Los Vecinos del Campo Mezcal in 2018; Constellation Spirits acquired a minority stake in El Silencio in 2019, and in 2021, made a minority investment in Dos Hombres Mezcal. Diageo's Casamigos Tequila branched out into a matching mezcal brand in 2018, and Diageo has made acquisitions of or partnerships with Sombra Mezcal, Mezcal Union, and Pierde Almas. Campari acquired a majority stake in Montelobos Mezcal in 2019, and most recently, in February, Heaven Hill acquired Samson & Surrey, a craft portfolio including Mezcal Vago.

However, there’s a major factor to consider when looking at all of these investments: From how long agave takes to reach maturity in the fields, to the way it's traditionally harvested and distilled in small batches reflecting micro-terroirs and the particular quirks of one family's methods or another village's equipment, the production of mezcal is intrinsically different from other categories. The way the industry's top producers are laying the foundation for sustainable growth today— or not—will go a long way towards determining the fate of the product and its producers, along with the relative quality and authenticity of what consumers are purchasing in the next decade and beyond.

Challenges in the Field A supply shortfall in whiskey, for example, stems from aging time required. For mezcal, the time bottleneck occurs in the field, where certain agave varieties may take 15 or 25 years to reach maturity. “The challenge arises when a brand is facing this type of rapid growth, and the bulk of their productions relies on wild or rare agave variations,” says Carlos Ochoa, the COO and director of field operations for El Silencio. “Wild agaves such as Tepeztate, Tobala, or Quixe cannot be cultivated, or even semi-cultivated.” Even Espadín, a type of agave that accounts for about three quarters of mezcal production, takes seven years to reach maturity. There's no shortcut around the fact that sustainably scaling up mezcal

production is a process measured best in decades, not harvest seasons, as may be the case for barley, corn, or sugarcane. Further, in the rush to increase production, almost no cultivated agave is allowed to reach maturity and WORTH flower, minimizing natural THE WAIT reproduction and genetic Espadín, which accounts for diversity. There are indusabout three quarters of mezcal try-led movements to help production, takes seven years combat this, such as the Bat to reach maturity Friendly Project which promotes allowing a minimum of five percent of agave fields to as this will ultimately drive up the reach maturity and be cross-pollinated demand on [these] species,” Ochoa says. by bats, as they would naturally.

He calls for producers to focus on says that being good stewards of the land is the responsibility of those in the industry, as is exerting pressure on other producers to do so. For Ochoa, one way to do that is by only producing what a field is capable of from year to year. If that means their Tobaziche and Mexicano agaves yield 200 liters instead of 7,000, so be it. “We don't believe in sourcing our wild agaves from other, third-party farmers

making a better product, not a cheaper one, while redirecting that capital investment into the producer's hands. Elevated prices can actually be a tool wielded to benefit the entire supply chain. “We charge a premium price in the market so that good wages and maintenance of artisanal production are possible,” says Rexer. He believes small batches can be replicated in number, rather than grown in size, while maintaining quality and tradition. “Small batch distillation on the surface seems restrictive, however, one can have many small stills, many small tahonas, and many pit ovens in order to scale,” Rexer adds. “The key to it all is making sure there are caring people involved who maintain attention to detail through the process, from harvesting the agave all the way through cooking, fermentation and distillation.” For Del Maguey, a producer that emphasizes single-village production, expanding the breadth of its product line is possible, but expanding the production of individual products may not be. Their planned growth, according to Via, stems from partnerships with additional palenqueros. At El Silencio, Ochoa says the preservation and protection of processes starts with investment before growth. “Most of the time, mezcal brands start small and begin scaling up as the company grows,” he says. “We actually started 'backwards' and invested from the beginning into the infrastructure that we knew we would need five to 10 years down the road.”

14 BIN 2022

Ensuring Producers Are Empowered and Paid What has been playing out in mezcal is a retelling of a same, tired story—the one in which large, foreign companies reap the bulk of the profits while the actual producers are left with the scraps. However, there are legitimate avenues being pursued by brands interested in putting their money where their mouth is. “Most commonly, mezcals are made by third-party producers who then sell their finished goods to a larger company in the U.S., or anywhere in the world,” explains Ochoa. “But what about the people who are creating your mezcal? How can you make sure your producers and the people who work on your brand are taken care of? That's the million dollar question right there, and this is a very intensive topic that requires a ton of context.” For El Silencio, that has meant bringing their production in-house. “This is the only way you can make sure that your partners are properly supported, and by taking a hands-on approach,” says Ochoa, pointing to Silencio's working conditions, livable wages, and overall employee quality of life. It's not as if growth is a bad thing, as long as the right people are benefiting. “The first thing to overcome is the myth that Oaxaca and people in other mezcal regions don't want the category to grow,” says Rexer. “The challenge for all ABOVE, LEFT TO RIGHT: Del Maguey focuses on singlevillage production // El Silencio's mezcal is crafted from Espadín // Piñas in Ilegal Mezcal's traditional roasting pit.

involved is how do you do this in a way that is sustainable economically as well as environmentally.” Whereas El Silencio operates from their own facility, and Del Maguey has numerous partners in different areas, Ilegal Mezcal has partnered with two distillers in Oaxaca over an extended period. “They are committed to making artisanal mezcal and employing people from their communities,” Rexer notes. “They are also committed to paying higher-than-average wages and working to make their production process as environmentally sustainable as possible.” Rexer measures success not in cases sold, but in the quality of life for their partners' employees in terms of how much they're paid, projects within the community, and environmental initiatives. “Yes, there are multinationals in the game, and like any business, there are certainly those where a disproportionate amount of the reward unfortunately moves in one direction,” he says. “But there are many small brands, local and foreign-owned, that work to see that meaningful profits stay in the local economy. In the end, healthy expansion is going to require taking the responsible long view on the part of individual brand owners.” The onus falls on the brands, surely, and on buyers, consumers, and the choices they make. “Your dollar is your vote, and transparency is key here,” says Ochoa. For du Bois, the ultimate answer is simple enough on its surface to be maddening. “Give the money to the producers!” ■

BIN SPOTLIGHT:

ASHLEY PETERSON, BRAND MANAGER 21 SEEDS TEQUILA GIRLS CALL THE SHOTS! and where are the biggest growth opportunities moving forward? Ashley: The last couple of years were definitely a success in the Off-Premise division for the brand with the help of our distributor Southern Glazer's Wine and Spirits. However 2022, is definitely the year of the On-Premise for 21 Seeds. Agave is hot, and the Cucumber Jalapeño sku is a game changer. Not only is it the perfect solution for all spicy margaritas, it is an absolute rockstar when it lands on the menu!

Ashley Peterson

Ashley Peterson is a shining star in the spirits industry, and she is determined to make 21 Seeds Tequila a household name. Peterson has been a leader in developing marketing strategies, creating sales opportunities and building key relationships with retail accounts for 21 Seeds Tequila. Along with her amazing team of women she has also been an influential force in supporting distribution efforts all while establishing 21 Seeds Tequila as a leader in front of competing brands. As a woman in a male-dominated spirits industry, Ashley is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion, and given her work ethic, it's a sign that she loves what she does! BIN: 21 Seeds Tequila has quickly gained a lot of traction in the beverage marketplace, how is the brand doing currently,

BIN: Tell us about 21 Seeds Tequila and the inspiration behind creating this wonderful product. Ashley: 21 Seeds is an award-winning, allnatural, real fruit-infused tequila founded by two sisters; (Kat Hantas and Nicole Emanuel), and a girlfriend; (Sarika Singh), who were looking to make a tequila that was as approachable as a glass of wine. 21 Seeds was born from the “better-foryou” mentality when CEO, Kat, swapped her nightly glass of wine for tequila blanco nearly a decade ago. Kat experienced a shift in her body’s response to wine, e.g., night sweats, trouble sleeping, and fatigue, so her doctor suggested switching to distilled spirits. Within three days, her symptoms were gone. At that moment in her life, she wasn’t a tequila drinker, so she began infusing blanco tequila in her Brita Filter with what she had on hand in her kitchen to create something that smoothed the blanco out. It was the per-

fect, healthier alternative to her nightly glass of wine. After perfecting the recipe, infusing each batch for about a week at a time, she began bottling her creations as gifts; first her original recipe of cucumber jalapeño, then orange, then grapefruit. She did this for eight years and then turned to the females in her life; her sister, Nicole Emanuel, and longtime friend, Sarika Singh, to change that. They partnered with one of the most favorable distilleries in Jalisco, Mexico, to develop an ultra-smooth blanco, infused with the ripest and juiciest fruits. The result is an easy-to-use, perfectly balanced tequila. BIN: What is the immediate goal plan for the brand? Ashley: Our goal for 21 SEEDS is more than just a delicious tequila: We want it to inspire you to gather your tribe of friends new and old, cross borders, share ideas and make connections. It’s the seed of something bigger.

Sarika, Kat & Nicole

HOW TO LEVEL UP YOUR COCKTAIL PRESENTATION GAME HOW BARS CAN CRAFT MORE APPEALING, SUSTAINABLE, AND PROFITABLE BAR PROGRAMS

hen I say ‘Martini,’ you see a Martini,” explains Robert Krueger, the head bartender for John Fraser Restaurants, pointing to the classic cocktail’s signature thin-stemmed glass, clear appearance, and lemon-peel or olive garnish. “The goal for every cocktail we make is for it to have its own silhouette that’s as distinctive and iconic as the classics.”

While visions of perfect Martinis and Mojitos are easy to imagine and recreate, cocktail presentation isn’t limited to glassware and garnishes. “The presentation of the drink starts way before shaking and garnishing,” Krueger adds. The presentation process includes every action from ordering through serving, and varies from low-key pouring to Cirque-du-Soleil-level showmanship, but what matters most is a sense of purpose throughout the process. “Watching someone doing work with concentration is inherently intriguing, so if the bartender is focused on the process,

BY TOM BELL BLANKENSHIP COURTESY OF BROTHER WOLF / BY KIMBERLY KONG COURTESY OF ALLEGORY AT THE EATON

that will always elevate the moment of garnishing and the act of presentation,” explains Krueger. “Cocktail hour is the time of day where work is over, and a cocktail is a license to relax.” By focusing on the guest experience and creating a deliberate strategy for presentation, constructing and serving gorgeous cocktails can become second nature, without sacrificing margins or valuable prep time.

Using Ice to Add Intrigue “Ice is one of the most overlooked and underestimated aspects of drink making,” explains Jessica “Rabbit” King, the owneroperator of Knoxville, Tennessee’s Brother Wolf and Sapphire. “Ice matters from both an aesthetic perspective and also from a cost perspective.” In addition to making the cocktail look beautiful, the size, shape, quality, and fit of the ice in the glass directly relates to cocktail profitability. While custom ice, like the large, branded cubes in Brother Wolf’s signature barrel-aged Negroni, can be costly, King believes presentation doesn’t need to detract from the bottom line. Instead, she recommends bartenders and managers keep a close eye on standard formulas— including the cost of the ice, straws, and glassware—to price drinks efficiently. Deke Dunne, the bar director at Washington, D.C.’s Allegory, an Alice in Wonderland-themed speakeasy within the Eaton Hotel, agrees with King. “Ice is the easiest way to make something feel more special,” he says. “Take a vodkasoda and put a long, clear spear of ice in it, and you’ve just elevated that cocktail by a mile.” King also recommends considering how the glass factors into the presentation, particularly when considering the type and amount of ice used. “A glass can make the difference between two ounces of

“Take a vodka-soda and put a long, clear spear of ice in it, and you've just elevated that cocktail by a mile.” – Deke Dunne, Allegory

liquor looking skimpy or looking like three and a half ounces,” says King. “It’s not trickery—it’s thoughtfulness and really managing your program so every single drink is presented in the best light.”

Repurposing Ingredients for Presentation Garnish and glassware costs can easily spiral, especially if drinks are presented with fresh ingredients that have a short shelf life. As a result, many of the best cocktail programs rely on sustainable and reusable presentation elements, while purposefully sourcing fresh items. “I challenge my team by saying they can only have a garnish if it's a byproduct of an ingredient we use. We care about sustainability at our bar and that also adds to the story,” says Dunne, who also advocates for reusable garnishes like the specialty glowing coasters used in

ABOVE: Brother Wolf’s barrel-aged Negroni features branded cubes // RIGHT: Allegory's They Can’t Kill Us All is served on a glowing coaster

Allegory’s You Can’t Kill Us All, a clarified milk punch. “It’s great because we can use six coasters for six months rather than using hundreds of other items.” Brian Evans, the bar director for Sunday Hospitality Group in New York City, agrees. “The last thing you want to do is upset operators with unexpected costs,” he says, noting that creative sourcing can mitigate presentation-related expenses. “Think about a pineapple—you can create six types of garnishes from a single fruit if you commit to using the peel, fronds, and the pineapple itself.” Similarly, Evans advocates for tweaking traditional garnishes to add an artistic edge to classic drinks. “You can

“If a garnish isn't perfect when you cut it ... then it has no place going into your mise-en-place at the bar.” – Robert Krueger, JF Restaurants

trim citrus peels with patterned scissors to make a zig-zag pattern or square edges,” he says, adding that many tools cost less than $10. “When you make patterned cuts, the fruit actually unleashes more aromas. The twisting pattern and those extra aromas just add a degree of thoughtfulness to the drink without adding much effort.” California-based cocktail consultant Rosie Grillo similarly points out that cocktail presentation programs within restaurants can take advantage of the wide array of ingredients often on site. “Chefs are a secret weapon for garnishes,” she says. “Berries that aren’t pretty enough for a cheesecake could make a gorgeous berry syrup to swirl into a drink, or extra jalapeños could be smoked and turned into a show-stopping element in a tequila drink.”

Prep with the Visual in Mind From preparing a perfect mise-en-place to batching signature cocktails in advance, the secret to creating ovation-worthy presentations is understanding both sides of the bar. “Visuals can be the main draw for guests to come in for the first time, whether they’ve seen a picture on social media or in a magazine,” says Grillo. “That

30 BIN 2022

imagery inspired them from afar, so you want to preserve the magic when they experience the bar in person.” Understanding the guest perspective, especially in terms of presentation, reinforces the value of preparedness behind the bar. Having perfectly prepared garnishes, clean tools, and easy access to ingredients literally sets the stage for great presentation.

TOP LEFT: Brian Evans' Jigoku cocktail at Rule of Thirds in Brooklyn // ABOVE: The Night Swim cocktail at The Club on Fire Island

“The number one thing I teach is that if a garnish isn’t perfect when you cut it … then it has no place going into your miseen-place at the bar,” Krueger says. “There should never be a chance to pull a garnish that would be rejected.” Dunne agrees, and suggests bartenders place their tools and garnishes in an ergonomic location for easy access during service. At Allegory, that means a large mise-en-place in the center of the bar, and pre-cutting garnishes to exacting standards so they sit perfectly in each glass. In addition, the Allegory pre-batches complex drinks before service to maintain consistency, control waste, and present each cocktail quickly. “We pre-batch everything we can,” says Dunne, noting the simple step of combining certain ingredients before service can turn a 10-step cocktail into a two-step drink, saving time and enhancing the guest experience on busy nights. “Batching produces such an amazing drink consistently and guests are still getting the experience of a drink being made just for them.” To keep costs in check and reduce waste when prepping, Krueger recommends incorporating data from pointof-sale systems. “Ordering and preparation of garnishes should be done in reasonable proportion to the popularity of a given item based on sales projections. You should know whether you sell five of something in a night, or 55, or 500.” Conscientious sourcing, deliberate garnishing, and an eye for sustainability can take a drink from drab to dazzling—a transformation that can likewise turn any patron into a licensed-to-relax regular. And there’s nothing better for bartenders, guests, and the bottom line than that. ■

BRAND PROFILE

A JOURNEY THROUGH SICILY’S DIVERSE TERROIR

f the notion holds true that exceptional wines are made in beautiful places, then the outstanding quality of Planeta’s wines is no surprise; the grapes are grown in some of Sicily’s most breathtaking vineyards. For five centuries, the Planeta family has been committed to cultivating Sicily's unique terroir, while safeguarding the beauty and environmental integrity of the region, which holds the largest organic vineyard area in Italy. Planeta has become an integral part of Sicily’s winemaking community, committed to organic farming and sustainability with an approach that is always oriented towards openness and innovation. Since the 1600s, the Planeta family has cultivated vines and olives at their Ulmo estate in western Sicily’s Sambuca di Sicilia, but their modern winemaking venture began in the 1980s, when 17th-generation Planeta family members Alessio, Francesca, and Santi first planted vines on the historic property under the guidance of founder Diego Planeta. In 1995, Planeta’s first commercial winery was born.

Since then, the Planeta family has been at the forefront of unearthing some of Sicily's most exceptional wines from across the island, seeking out the best vineyard areas to create independent wineries. Years were spent carefully matching the extraordinarily diverse Sicilian soils with both indigenous and international varieties, which paid off when Planeta wines were met with immediate praise upon introduction in the U.S. in the late 1990s. “Planeta is a journey through Sicily,” explains winemaker Alessio Planeta. “Five different territories—Menfi, Vittoria, Noto, Etna, and Capo Milazzo—are our cardinal directions to travel in Sicily, an island that is a genuine cultural, climatic, and enological continent.” Today, the company has 377 hectares and seven wineries across the five regions, each one reflecting the details, vibrations, and rhythms of their unique location. Since 1998, Planeta has also produced award-winning IGP extra virgin olive oil from a 148-hectare olive grove owned by the family.

The five different territories: Menfi, Vittoria, Noto, Etna, and Capo Milazzo.

By following the SOStain protocol of sustainability—the first regional Italian environmental viticultural certification project—Planeta has been able to forge a path of continuous improvement towards increasing levels of sustainability. Planeta has not only made this approach a fundamental part of their winemaking process, but they have become leaders in making sustainability a standard for all of Sicily. Planeta’s holistic investment in the success of Sicilian wine also extends to tourism. Planeta Estate runs La Foresteria Menfi, a wine country resort near the beach in Menfi with a restaurant, pool, and experiences like wine tastings, biking, trekking, and massages. Three of their estates have also become centers of hospitality that offer everything from tastings and events to wine experiences and sales. Planeta’s wines have the power to transport you around the island of Sicily. And while each wine holds true to the traditions of the island, it’s the family’s courage and innovation to tap into the island's full diversity of terroir that has made the wines truly come alive. n

HOW U.S. BUYERS ARE MAKING A CASE FOR SINGLE MALT IRISH WHISKEY RETAILERS AND BARS ARE FINDING WAYS TO CAPITALIZE ON THIS QUICKLY GROWING CATEGORY

or many whiskey drinkers, single malt has almost always meant Scotch. Yet there’s an increasing number of single malts coming from neighboring Ireland available to consumers in the United States, and they’re typically much different than the Irish whiskey blends people know and love—in both flavor and price.

“While small compared to blended Irish, single malt Irish whiskey has seen double-digit growth in the past five years in the U.S.,” says Darryl McNally, the CEO and master distiller at Limavady, which makes single-barrel, single malt Irish whiskey. “American consumers have started to discover the unique quality of Irish

malt as they look beyond Scotch, and as craft distillers bring new innovation to the segment.” The IWSR forecasts that Irish whiskey overall will have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6 percent in the U.S. from 2021 to 2025, and malt Irish whiskey will see a CAGR of 13 percent in the same period. The influx of newly available Irish single malt expressions offers bars and retailers an opportunity to bring something different, and something that typically has a higher price point, to whiskey-drinking consumers. “Consumers have been exposed to more premium and superABOVE: Irish whiskey sales, including single malts, are on the rise at New Hampshire Liquor Commission's 67 stores.

premium brands, and this has led to a more even playing field in terms of the perception of Irish versus, for example, Scotch,” says Padraic Coll, the head of North American operations at Clonakilty. “Alongside the moving of marketing dollars by the bid players into promoting their super-premium offerings, [this] means the consumer is being educated to the fact that Irish whiskey isn’t just something in the $20 to $30 range.”

Bolstering Retail Sales with Education The New Hampshire Liquor Commission (NHLC) sees some 12 million annual customers and has a selection of more than 14,000 wines and spirits in its 67 stores throughout the state. Mark Roy, the spirits marketing and sales special-

ist for NHLC, says that the Irish whiskey category as a whole has been a major area of growth across stores, including single malts. When considering new Irish single malts to add to the shelves, Roy and the NHLC ask a few crucial questions: Is it from an established brand? Is the brand growing nationally and in the local market, or are there consumer inquiries? What is the price point and how does it compare to other markets? Consumer education is a big part of the stores’ retail strategy around Irish ABOVE, LEFT TO RIGHT: A glmpse inside the Irish whiskeymaking process at Clonakilty Distillery in County Cork // The Clonakilty Winter Spice Cocktail // LEFT: Nicholas Bennett, beverage director at Porchlight in NYC

single malts. The NHLC works closely with local brokers for in-store advertising through shelf talkers, media advertising, in-store tastings, and virtual educational seminars. Its weekly email includes a "What’s New" section focused on brands and informational materials. These tools all help consumers feel more comfortable making a choice on a style that’s less understood than the more dominant blends. Still, at NHLC stores, single malts are placed alongside blends and various cask finishes by price progression rather than grouping all Irish single malts together by style. “I don’t think consumers are seeing single malt as a separate category within Irish just yet,” says Roy. ”If it’s an Irish, it’s an Irish, and they lump it in with the overall Irish whiskey heading.”

Using Brand Stories to Sell at Bars “The problem that I have seen is that most guests only recognize one brand, and that brand is either the only one they are comfortable ordering or the reason why they ‘can never drink Irish whiskey again,’” says Nicholas Bennett, the beverage director at Porchlight in New York City. “[Overcoming that barrier] starts with our servers and bar team getting excited about it, so we only carry brands of Irish whiskey that we genuinely respect and are excited about serving ourselves.”

From there, introducing consumers to Irish single malts starts with getting to know the customer. “One good start is to ask what they typically like to drink and then ask questions about what direction they'd like to go in from there,” says Jillian Vose, the beverage director and a managing partner at The Dead Rabbit. “Questions such as what cask components they're keen on, how old of a whiskey they're looking for. The question on the cost to the guest should also be mentioned if you're suggesting something on the pricier side.” She recommends leading with a question like, “What do you typically enjoy drinking?” Then, use that information to give two starting choices. “Hopefully, they'll enjoy it, and on their next drink or visit you can guide them to something different and more complex,” adds Vose. “Without even knowing it, they'll start to build a descriptive vocabulary on what they do and do not like, which is also great because it is a natural way to build a rapport with what will hopefully become a regular guest.” Selling to adventurous whiskey enthusiasts and casual consumers alike takes a bar team that’s highly knowledgeable about what they're selling and that can tell detailed stories about brands. Brands, after all, are the starting point for most consumers.

“The majority of our customers are much more inclined to order a particular Irish whiskey based on brand recognition than knowledge of style of whiskey, like single malt or blends,” says Níamh O'Donovan, the general manager and company president at Daniel O'Connell's Restaurant & Bar in Alexandria, Virginia. “Competitors of major whiskey brands tend to be an easier sell than a less-known style of a known brand of whiskey. Price of whiskey is only a limiting factor if there is a large disparity between brands.”

Building a Single Malt Irish Whiskey Selection Vose suggests starting with what people know when building out a bar’s Irish single malt selection. For instance, start with the 10-, 16-, and 21-year-old options from Bushmills—a brand that people are already familiar with but may not realize was historically known for its single malts. Tullamore D.E.W. is another well-known brand with approachable single malts, and Bennett adds Knappogue Castle and Teeling to that list. From there, try expanding into offerings from brands that the average consumer may be less aware of.

after the farm where the grain was grown, and West Cork has single malts with indigenous cask finishes. Vose also suggests Dingle and Sexton. “Not many know this, but Ireland was the originator of the single malt,” says Alex Thomas, the master blender at Bushmills. “Scotch took center stage during Prohibition, as the U.S. was such a huge market for the Irish whiskey industry, and it was hit hard. What was once a country of hundreds of distilleries, became a country of a mere handful—Bushmills being one of the very few left standing.” There were only four distilleries making Irish whiskey in 2013. Now there are more than 30, with more planned and some recently opened distilleries that have yet to send their first releases into the world. As the number grows, so too will the Irish single malt category—and with it, more consumer interest and the need for a way to introduce these delicious bottles. “So be patient, people,” urges Vose. “More single malts will eventually get here.” ■

KEY THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT MOSKOVSKAYA VODKA: • Moskovskaya Vodka will continue to be produced in Latvia, a European Union and NATO member. • Since 1900, Moskovskaya has been made by the leading producer of alcoholic beverages in the Baltic States - Latvijas balzams, based in Riga, Latvia. • All materials needed for Moskovskaya Vodka production are sourced only from European Union countries. • One of the most famous in the world, Moskovskaya Osobaya Vodka (38% and 40% ABV), is made accordingly to the centuries-old vodka making traditions: using the highest quality wheat, carrying out triple distillation, which is followed

by three filtration steps, maintaining the unique Osobaya vodka flavor. Because of the current situation in Ukraine, Latvijas balzams has had to change the delivery routes of some materials. For example, for several years the company used various materials from Ukraine: corks, capsules, bottles, labels, shippers. For the continuity of the company's operations, the supply of these materials is currently switching to other European Union countries: Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, and Germany. The brand is growing fast and one of the reasons is that this is not only a traditional vodka but also that it is ‘green'. The memorable green label reflects the brand's environmental sustainability ambitions with regard to production, water conservation and responsible consumption. They are aiming at achieving carbon neutrality within the next few years. ABG Global Brand Director, Vodkas, Benedikt Fimpel, said: "Beyond establishing values and our purpose, we are looking to take ownership of our distinct green colour and build rational benefits around it, especially by becoming a true green brand and company," says Fimpel. "For this we will launch our ‘green ambition' in 2022."

BUILDING THE COUNTRY’S NEW-WAVE WINE MARKETS QUALITY RETAIL SHOPS AND WINE BARS ARE POPPING UP IN SMALL CITIES ACROSS THE U.S. HERE’S THEIR ADVICE ON HOW TO FIND NICHE WINES, INCREASE SALES, AND BUILD A NEW WINE COMMUNITY

here's been a migration of wine professionals from major cities to smaller ones over the past few years—a trend that sped up during the pandemic. Luckily, to complement the rise of owner-operated wine bars and shops in these smaller, often overlooked markets, a slew of smaller, niche importers and distributors has increased availability of small-production and natural wines at the same time. Still, there’s legwork required to increase access to the wines they want—but these owners understand they’re building a community as well as a business, and are willing to put in the effort. They’re

building relationships not just with their customers, but with suppliers at all levels, becoming logistical experts in the process. Retail shop and wine bar owners from small cities throughout the U.S. share their tips and tactics for building overlooked wine markets into some of the most exciting in the country. UNDERSTAND THE THREE-TIER SYSTEM

Heather LaVine, the owner of Golden Hour Wine in Orlando, Florida, has a list of every wine she’s ever bought for her shops. “I started that in New York, not wanting wines to fall off the radar,” she says. Now that she’s in Florida, it’s essentially a long-

term shopping list and a starting point for the logistical legwork required to get these wines into the local market. That legwork can be substantial—and will likely require developing relationships at every tier of the three-tier system. When Tim Graham and Tracy Pell opened Small Wine Shop in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, they were prepared to work with local distributors to get wines into the Florida market. “What I learned really quickly was that I had to contact the actual importers,” says Graham. Having previously worked in Texas, he already had

some of these relationships established, but anyone looking to get new wines into their local market will need to map out who has what and make the calls. A winery may have a single importer for the country, or it may have a handful of importers covering different geographic regions. Within a state, a single importer portfolio may be sold through one distributor or split across several. And for a given winery, only a limited number of SKUs may have distribution. “It involves taking time, doing your own research, knowing what portfolio a wine is in,” explains Bianca Sanon, the owner of Paradis Books & Bread in North Miami, Florida. It also may involve a fair bit of matchmaking. Richard Garcia, the owner of Big Mood Natural Wines in Kansas City, Missouri, will often reach out directly to wineries he’s interested in. "Do they have an Instagram account? Boom. I’ll shoot them a message,” he explains. “I just say, ‘I’ve been following you, I like what you're doing, and I think you would be a really good fit with distributor XYZ.’” He’ll then let a local distributor know to continue the conversation. A collective mindset goes a long way to developing successful working relationships. “Our interests are aligned. The whole point of doing this is to make an even better wine market,” explains Jeff

Kellogg, the owner of Kellogg Selections, which has portfolios in North and South Carolina. “If you have a relationship from places you worked with previously, I don't mind. That can be more helpful in getting the wine than me reaching out.” BE PROACTIVE AND PERSISTENT

“Always ask for what you want,” advises Naomi Biber, who owns Palace Pub & Wine Bar with her husband, Ryan Lay, in Cape Coral, Florida. “Even throwing out a ‘hey, I don’t know if you have this now but, if you ever do, please let us know’ has worked.” LaVine agrees. “It’s not just mentioning it once,” she says, “but feeling comfortable mentioning it 50 times and getting over the fact that you're probably being a little annoying.” Thinking like a distributor also helps move things along. Graham will regularly check in with his distributors to see which importers they’re placing orders with and ask if they can add additional wines to an existing order. “Whether it's just one case or something more, generally they’re more than happy to do that because it doesn't stay in the warehouse,” he explains. “It goes right out the door to me versus them having to go out and sell it.” Buyers can also work together to make sure distributors and importers are aware of growing interest in their market. “There's power in numbers, right?” notes Sanon. Buyers in her market regularly keep others posted on wines that they are all interested in, building orders together,

which makes it less of a risk for distributors to bring in the wines. “If it takes four or five of us to buy a certain amount on presale just so that we can get it into the market, we’ll do it,” adds Garcia. Jeffrey Wolfe, the owner of Wolfe’s Wine Shoppe in Coral Gables, Florida, uses Instagram as a way to stay on top of requests. “It tells me when certain wines are hitting certain markets,” he says. “If I see a wine being posted by buyers in New York or Chicago, then I know it should be hitting Florida soon. If the distributor is behind taking the wine, they're at risk of losing their allocations. So I want to make sure that's not going to happen.” LEARN HOW TO BUY FROM AFAR

While savvy buyers can use Instagram and other social media platforms to their advantage, it has its limits. “It’s intel, but it’s not really educational,” cautions Wolfe. “Just because somebody posted something doesn't mean that it's great or that you should be buying it.” Ideally, buyers could travel to visit producers and taste wines in larger markets. However, budget and staffing limitations make it difficult to get away. “It's definitely been a learning curve for me,” says John Hale, who relocated to Asheville, North Carolina, from New York to open Crocodile Wine. “A large portion of the wines we buy are special orders that I don't get to taste beforehand. I just know the winemakers already or trust the importers and hope for the best.”

KEEP AN EYE ON CASH FLOW

Particularly when it comes to special requests and orders, it’s important to keep an eye on the bottom line. “Bringing in cool wine is fun and all, but remember, you need to find a home for those wines to keep the ‘business’ part in ‘wine business,’” says Andrea Hillsey, the owner of Square Wine Co. in Madison, Wisconsin. Keeping track of special orders and being able to take quick delivery upon arrival is key to developing trust with distributor partners. “I have to be flexible on my end,” explains LaVine. “If all of a sudden the wines come in from three different distributors … well, guess what? I'm going to have to figure out cash flow and make it work.” To avoid being caught offguard, LaVine keeps a running record of all requests using an Excel sheet. Setting clear expectations about pricing is essential as well. Taking the time to

52 BIN 2022

understand the various shipping fees, margins, and mark-ups along the supply chain ensures you’ll know the exact end cost for customers when it hits your shelf or bar. Sanon notes that there will usually be a bit of a price difference for secondary markets. “Maybe a few dollars difference we can work with,” she says, “but not nine or 10.” BE FLEXIBLE WITH DELIVERY

While smaller distributors may legally be able to deliver statewide, getting wine to far-flung locations in a big state can be a logistical—and financial—challenge, especially as fuel costs skyrocket. “But I don't want to penalize people for having businesses far away from my warehouses,” says Hajianpour, who tries to find creative ways to make deliveries work. This could include delivery fees or order minimums tailored to location and items ordered. “As long as a distributor is permitted to sell in your area, it can be worth offering to drive out to their warehouse,” notes Matt Uva, the owner of Curate: Natural Wines in Orlando, Florida. “This can put a retailer at an advantage over their competitor by having wines not readily available in their area.” He also suggests that if legal, “buyers form an alliance of sorts and share the pick-up responsibilities.” If buyers are bringing new wines into the local market, building in long lead times is crucial. These are not the wines to include in a program that has firm deadlines for printing wine lists or picking up wine clubs. “You have to be flexible and it can be frustrating,” explains Sanon. “There are extra steps and so many different things can go wrong. It just comes with the territory of being down here.”

ABOVE, LEFT TO RIGHT: Palace Pub and Wine // Jill Roberts of The Hawthorne // John Hale of Crocodile Wine

BUILD A COMMUNITY

Once the wine arrives, the fun of selling it begins. Many buyers have developed wine club programs to move bottles they’re excited about, while generating a regular cash inflow. “Our club gives us a big boost in sales every month,” explains Sanon. “It also gives me a little more buying power.” LaVine has even started a second club to meet demand. “I’ve had to cap our first club based on quantities of what’s available in the market,” she says. For hybrid retail/wine bar locations, by-the-glass programs offer a way to educate customers—and staff. “I switch up the wine list often so we are tasting a lot and are forced to keep on our toes,” explains Jill Roberts, the owner of The Hawthorne in Helena, Montana. “We open up something special from the shop most days so that the team can be as prepared as possible for the serious array of needs and requests from our guests.” Regular, themed tastings have longterm impact, explains Biber. “This has enabled so many of our customers to try new things and find new things they like. Over time this has built a lot of trust between ourselves and our community,” she says. “Today, many don’t even question us and know that if we are excited, they should be too.” “It’s important that you feel the emotion, too!” agrees Uva. “Make friends. Be involved. Give a damn about your community and it will show how much you give a damn about your wines.” n

Buyers need to ask the hard questions of their distributors, importers, and even buyers in other markets, especially for those working with low intervention wines. “I’ll ask what the flavor profile of [the wine] is,” says Graham. “Is it super natty? Does it go mousey? Is it ropey? If it’s a pét-nat, is it going to explode on me?” Distributors who take their role as a partner seriously and want to build trust with their account base will answer honestly. “I never ever want anybody to sell something they don't want to sell [or] something they're not excited about,” explains Arash Hajianpour, the owner of South Florida-based Arash Selects, a twoyear-old distributorship specializing in a broad range of natural wines.

and Dream Big Darling have become driving sources of change by bringing women together and giving them a platform to speak about their experiences. For many women, real progress was not noticeable until recently, when broader social movements and industry-specific scandals forced many more people to face the harsh realities of what it means to work in the beverage alcohol industry as a woman, as a person of color, or as a member of any minority group. Fortunately, the beverage alcohol industry, like the world at large, continues to evolve rapidly. New, younger voices are demanding change and experienced female leaders are actively engaged in bringing about that change. Women from across the industry speak about the progress women have made, the hurdles that remain, and how to keep moving the industry forward.

AFTER YEARS OF HARD WORK, NOTICEABLE CHANGE IS HAPPENING

Deborah Brenner, the founder and CEO of WOTVS, first entered the industry 16 years ago while working on her book Women of the Vine: Inside the World of Women Who Make, Taste, and Enjoy Wine. “People weren’t talking about women in the wine business,” she remembers. For years, resources for women remained scarce. “Many people didn’t have a voice,” recalls Mary Gorman-McAdams, MW, the director of the International Wine Center in New York City and a member of WWLS’s advisory board.

omen have a long history of working in wine, spirits, and beer, but only recently have the vast contributions of women—and the difficulties they face—become a prominent part of the dialogue within the beverage alcohol industry. Events such as the #MeToo movement drove women’s issues into the national spotlight—and drove home the specific challenges women face in the particularly male-dominated beverage alcohol industry. While women-focused trade groups have been around since at least 1990, when Women for WineSense was founded to provide education and networking opportunities, their visibility and reach was limited. But over the past 10 years, things have begun to change. Events like the Women in Wine Leadership Symposium (WWLS) and organizations like Women of the Vine and Spirits (WOTVS), Lift Collective, Bâtonnage,

field dominated by men, bound by traditions and rigid expectations, it was hard to find a space where women felt comfortable voicing their concerns. “I remember thinking,” says Gorman-McAdams, looking back to 2012 when WWLS began, “‘will we actually succeed in creating an environment where the bravado is gone and we can actually address the real challenges?’” A significant part of the success of organizations like WWLS and WOTVS was their ability to foster a safe environment where women felt comfortable digging into difficult topics. “We started off slowly, trying to break down barriers, but also being a little bit safe. I think it worked,” says Gorman-McAdams. In recent years, more organizations have sprung up to help tackle the diverse set of challenges women face. This has created a wealth of opportunities that include education, networking, mentorships, and scholarships. “These organizations have helped women realize that they are not alone, and that they are part of a great community that face similar obstacles and challenges,” says Sarah Bray, the cofounder of Bâtonnage. Michelle DeFeo, the president of Laurent-Perrier U.S., echoes this sentiment. “Twenty years ago, you didn’t want to appear weak. The idea of asking for help—I would never have thought of that. Now, there’s the recognition that we can help each other.” With a larger support network, more women are breaking into the industry and RIGHT: Dia Simms, CEO of Lobos 1707 Tequila and Mezcal

taking on more senior positions. “Over the last 10 to 15 years, I’ve seen more women in the industry, not just as winemakers but also in executive leadership roles,” says Stephanie Jacobs, the director of winemaking at Cakebread Cellars. “We have had women across our executive team from CFO to VP of sales and marketing.” Data from more than 4,200 bonded wineries in California shows a similar statewide trend; the share of lead female winemakers has increased threefold, from four percent in 2011 to 14 percent in 2020.

While the number of women in the industry has undoubtedly increased, the percentage of women in senior leadership roles remains well below where it should be. “Maybe we had success in sales and middle management, but upper management is essential. Ownership is essential,” says Madeline Triffon, MS, an advisory board member for WWLS and the in-house Master Sommelier for Plum Market in Detroit. This is especially true in the spirits and beer sectors. “The spirits industry is a 353-billion dollar industry that women are currently largely underrepresented in. According to 2019 McKinsey & Co. data only four percent of women are in C-suite positions [as of 2018] and that’s a huge issue,” explains Dia Simms, the CEO of Lobos 1707 Tequila and Mezcal. When Fawn Weaver, the CEO of Uncle Nearest Whiskey, named Sherrie Moore as the head of whiskey operations, it was a first for the spirits industry. “Now we’re seeing so many [women] be named assistant master distiller, master distiller. That just wasn’t something we saw at all when we first came into the industry [in 2018],” explains Weaver. “The [whiskey] industry was very white and very male and it still is.” With women so underrepresented, and their needs rarely taken into account, many other problems persist— most noticeably, the lack of support for mothers. “Many of the most tangible hurdles that still exist relate to women as mothers,” says Stevie Stacionis, the cofounder of Bâtonnage. “Simple things like maternity leave are not universally adopted by wine businesses.” Moreover, many positions in the industry require long, labor-intensive hours in a winery or on a restaurant floor, plus the need to work nights and weekends. The physical demands are nearly impossible to sustain

THE WORK CONTINUES

After decades of work, many women have come to realize that the problems they face are not ones they can fix on their own. Brenner has long been a proponent of including men in the conversation as men often hold decision-making power. Annette Alvarez-Peters, the founder of consultancy firm annette a.p. Wine and Spirits Inc. and a mentor and an advisor for Bâtonnage and Wine Unify, agrees. “In order for [women] to be successful, it must be a focus from the top down in any organization.” Bringing more men into the conversation was one reason why Rania Zayyat, the founder of Lift Collective (formerly Wonder Women of Wine), decided to rebrand. “We started to feel like it was a bit of an echo chamber. We all know what we want to see change, but we can’t do it alone,” says Zayyat. “It was also about shifting the conversation. These aren’t just women’s issues, these are industry issues. Women are half the workforce.” In Weaver’s experience, having allies is key to succeeding in the whiskey industry. “You have to create allies, and those allies are very unlikely to be other people of color, and they are very unlikely to be women because there are so few of us,” says Weaver. “It’s very difficult for us to be allies for another person that’s trying to come up because we are still trying to come up ourselves.” With more scholarships and mentorships popping up, it has become clear that many of these opportunities are not yet reaching much of the underserved audi-

ences they’re aimed at. Even when some women see these opportunities, they can still feel unattainable. “If the people you’re hoping to attract are intimidated by you, are intimidated by your organization, that’s not going to work,” says GormanMcAdams. “We have work to do in terms of making people feel comfortable and capable of turning in an application.” “If you’re looking from the outside in and you only see one woman, it’s not exactly encouraging,” adds Triffon. Industry leaders like DeFeo are working to tackle this issue by changing their recruitment strategy. “We’re taking a more active role in seeking candidates out instead of waiting to see what resumes come in,” says DeFeo, noting that Laurent-Perrier participated in the Be the Change career fair, which offered opportunities to connect companies with diverse candidates. It’s equally important to invest in candidates once they’ve come on board in order for women and other minorities to advance into more senior roles. “Managers who are successfully advancing equality and equity in their firms are taking a more inquisitive approach—rejecting old scripts, seeking an evidence-based understanding of how women/minorities experience the workplace, and then creating the conditions that increase prospects for success,” explains Falkner. Women have made inroads into every segment of the beverage alcohol industry, but much of the hard work of realizing equality, safety, and support within the industry lies ahead. Making these goals a reality will require buy-in from all stakeholders, regardless of gender or race. Fortunately, there’s real momentum propelling the industry forward and a workforce brimming with galvanized individuals ready to face these challenges head-on. n

while pregnant or with young children, and with little to no support from employers, women are forced to make difficult choices. “Many [women] have chosen family over career because they’ve had to,” says Gorman-McAdams. The problems don’t end there, explains Katie Canfield, a partner at the Bâtonnage. “For women in general, mothers or not, the pay-wage gap persists, sexual harassment persists, conflicting expectations of women as leaders persist… it goes on,” she notes. The pay gap remains particularly frustrating for many women. “U.S. women today only make 82 cents for every dollar men earn (less for minorities),” explains Tawnya Falkner, the owner of French sparkling wine brand Le Grand Courtâge. “It’s clear there is advancement, but it’s still not equal.” One of the most glaring hurdles plaguing the industry is its overall lack of diversity. “Throughout my career, I have seen and experienced firsthand the challenges of being a woman of color in leadership, especially in the spirits industry,” says Simms. This lack of diversity not only hurts the individuals that are being held back, but data shows it hurts a business’s bottom line, too. “Not only is it statistically proven that more diverse businesses are more profitable,” explains Simms, “but it’s also an opportunity to think a little bit differently, understand different perspectives, and make change.”

CHILEAN SAUVIGNON BLANC IS THE ANSWER TO INCREASING DEMAND AS GLOBAL SUPPLY FROM OTHER SAUVIGNON BLANC-PRODUCING REGIONS DECREASES, CHILE’S DIVERSE REGIONS AND STYLES PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY OPTIONS FOR SAVVY BUYERS

tities, as well as work on customer transition to alternatives,” says Tim Varan of Tim’s Wine Market in Florida. “Working with some trusted importers I looked for alternative terroir-driven regions to source from.” Varan’s search led him to Chile, where 4,000 miles of coastline and vineyards rising to altitudes of 6,500 feet produce a wildly diverse selection of high-quality Sauvignon Blanc styles at a range of prices. “I love the idea of seeking out other regions rather than just focusing on substituting other Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand and the Loire Valley,” says Jen Ziskin, owner of La Morra and Heritage of Sherborn in the Boston metro area. The country also offers a logistical bonus. “Chile is an exporting country with world-class ports in San Antonio and Valparaíso,” explains Julio Alonso, executive director of Wines of Chile USA. “Although so much of the world has been affected by supply chain issues, Chile has proven remarkably resilient and able to adapt, exporting its wines with few delays and minimal problems.”

Pablo Morandé, a pioneer of Casablanca Valley Sauvignon Blanc.

THE DIVERSITY OF CHILEAN SAUVIGNON BLANC

The Sauvignon Blanc grape has been gaining ground in Chile over the last 40 years, growing from just 3.1 percent of vineyard area in 1978 to 11 percent by 2019, making it the country’s second-most planted variety. Its original stronghold was in the Maule Valley, but since the 1990s, plantings have expanded in all directions as Chile’s winemakers seek out a broader range of vineyard sites and soil types, as well as cooler climates.

emand for Sauvignon Blanc continues to rise globally, and in the United States, it has become a staple, with restaurant guests and retail customers regularly asking for it by name. But sourcing some of these consumerfavorite Sauvignon Blancs may be challenging in 2022, as climate shocks have impacted popular Sauvignon Blanc-producing regions like New Zealand (which estimates a potential shortfall of three million cases into the U.S. market) and Sancerre (which faced devastating frosts in 2021). Additionally, ongoing supply chain pressures are driving up costs on shipping and packaging materials, likely leading to price increases over the course of this year. Not surprisingly, savvy retail and restaurant buyers are looking to diversify their Sauvignon Blanc selections and hedge against the inevitable price increases. “I pay close attention to fluctuations in harvest and other factors that can affect supply and try to operate ahead of the curve. I order earlier, in larger quan-

A groundbreaker in this push was Pablo Morandé, who learned about cool-climate conditions while working in Carneros, California, in the 1970s. He found similar conditions in the Casablanca Valley and planted the first Sauvignon Blanc vines there in 1982. Seeing the success of these ocean-influenced wines, other producers followed and by the 1990s, the region shifted its focus from dairy and livestock farming to become one of the county’s most important Sauvignon Blanc terroirs. The drive for cooler climates and diverse terroir has seen similar expansion to the east, with the grape being planted on the slopes of the Andes, and to the south, with its unique soil types and extreme conditions. “I can think of no country in the world that can match Chile—which is virtually unrivaled for diversity of terroir—when it comes to producing quality Sauvignon Blanc in such a wide range of styles,” says Alonso. Chile’s varied clonal stock also contributes to this stylistic diversity. Miguel Torres was the first producer to bring in Sauvignon Blanc clones from the United States and France, with other wineries soon joining. Plantings now include the Davis Clone (#1) from California, known for producing expressive, intensely citrusy styles, and the French clone #242, commonly found in Sancerre and producing more herbal-driven wines, as well as other French clones. Even before producers make winemaking decisions, Chile’s varied terroir and clonal selection ensure that buyers have a diverse range of Sauvignon Blanc

styles and prices to offer customers. THE COASTAL REGIONS

Buyers looking for Sancerre alternatives will find plenty of options in Chile’s coastal regions. The Humboldt, a 600-mile wild current, drags cold water from Antarctica along Chile’s coast, bringing cool weather conditions along the way. The Humboldt works with the Coastal Range to provide a cooling buffer, ensuring slow, gradual ripening and protecting the grapes from sudden temperature peaks. The Coastal Range also provides a diversity of soil types. Casablanca, as well as San Antonio, Leyda, and Paredones, feature a granite-based mosaic with soils rich in sandy-silty maicillo, clay, or the granite bedrock. In Limarí, the granite is often combined with ancient limestone deposits. This variation, along with the different aspects on ridges, slopes, the valley floor and hilltops, results in a patchwork of combinations and a wide range of expressive possibilities. All of this results in wines that tend to show a classic herbal character combined with vibrant citrus fruit and a structure that balances acidity, texture, and tension—wine traits that will please customers seeking out more elegant, mineraldriven styles of Sauvignon Blanc. CENTRAL VALLEY AND THE ANDES SLOPES

The Central Valley is the original home of Chile’s Sauvignon Blanc vine plantings. Vineyards planted on the western slopes of the Andes provide some cooler sites due

to altitude, but overall, this region is much warmer than the coastal areas. It’s also sunnier, intensely so, with clouds rarely gracing the summer sky. This means harvest date plays an important role in the final wine style: early harvest dates preserve freshness and acidity, while a slightly later date will emphasize aromatic intensity. As a result, flavors can range from zippy pink grapefruit to more tropical notes like passionfruit, but overall, the wines are more fruit-driven than wines from the coast. Vineyards in the heart of the Central Valley are planted on riverbeds, with alluvial soils forming plains of fine sediment. These soils, plus easy access to water for irrigation, encourage vigorous growth, so this is the place for buyers to find crowdpleasing, fruit-driven Sauvignon Blancs. THE DEEP SOUTH

The quest for ever-cooler climates has led to Sauvignon Blanc in the lower latitudes of the deep southern regions. Cool and damp, with highly acidic soils not seen in the parts of Chile, this area produces wines that are intensely herbal and limeedged, nearly vibrating with bracing acidity. Buyers with an eye for more obscure and experimental wines should be paying attention to deep south developments. “Chile is rewriting its story in the United States,” says Alonso, “and Sauvignon Blanc is a big part of that.” Whether buyers are looking to fill gaps resulting from the Sauvignon Blanc supply crunch or want to offer their customers a new spin on a favorite grape, there really is something for everyone. n

THE DOURO COBBLER AN HOMAGE TO PORTO BY MARLENA BLITZ

istorically, Port cocktails have been a mainstay in bartending culture. Adrian Bridge,the CEO of Taylor Fladgate, points out that American bartender Jerry Thomas featured a number of port cocktails in his classic 1862 guide. Bridge and Taylor Fladgate have been instrumental in reviving fortified wine used in cocktails, such as the recently released ready-to-drink Taylor Fladgate Chip Dry and Tonic and Croft Pink and Tonic served in canned formats. “Fast forward 150 years, and we made a conscious decision to start working and building relationships within the cocktail industry,” says Bridge. Cue the Douro Cobbler, created by educator and bartender Andy Seymour, who notes that he was “inspired by a love of the Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage and the amazing region where it comes from.” While tawny and ruby port “love to mix with aged spirits and more complex flavors, white port is wonderful when it is allowed to utilize its subtle and more refreshing aspects,” Seymour explains. To complement the Taylor Fladgate, the Douro Cobbler depends on “fresh fruit and a touch of mezcal to bring smoke,“ Seymour adds, noting that it’s one to sip at a cocktail bar—“or, if you are lucky enough, while sitting and looking out over the Douro River on a sun-drenched day.” ■

Ingredients: 2 ½ oz. Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage ½ oz. Mezcal Del Maguey Vida 1 /5 oz. Mezcal Del Maguey Chichicapa

1 oz. fresh lemon juice. 1 strawberry ⅓ oz. agave syrup Garnish: strawberry and orange slice

Method: Place strawberry, agave syrup, and lemon juice into a mixing tin and muddle. Add the two types of mezcal and the Taylor's Late Bottled Vintage. Shake and strain over crushed ice into a double rocks glass. Garnish with a strawberry and orange slice.
