MATURANA IN DA HOOOOOUUUUSE!
So the Mayans were wrong, and in considering the end of our planet, I discovered that this fantastic, rediscovered Maturana grape is now available in the United States, from the Barón de Ley vineyards in the Rioja Baja region.

HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?
High waters we used to call them. Back in the day. Pants that expose your ankles, but were not purchased originally as capri pants.
