Water restrictions in California will cause large acreages of farm land to be fallowed, potentially producing nothing. Fortunately a new crop is being introduced that uses very little water, making more available for thirstier tree, vine and row crops. That new crop, a new spirit, is California Agave. Stuart Woolf has been to Mexico and brought back Agave plants that are planted and flourishing in the Central Valley. It’s turning out that California is ideal for Agave production. That’s good news for Sean Venus, of Venus Distilling in Santa Cruz who is
distilling California Agave Spirits and is representative of progressive distillers who see a promising future for California’s newest crop, a great spirit.
