About this listen

What happens when passionate producers, drought resistant land and a blank slate come together? You get the California agave movement, and nobody tells that story better than Gian Pablo Nelson of Jano Spirits. In this episode GP sits down with JJ and Jeff to pull back the curtain on how California grown agave is finding its own identity, from native US varietals producing higher sugar content than Mexico to a growing community of producers collaborating across the state's diverse microclimates. GP breaks down the agricultural shift reshaping California's land, the state law locking in quality and integrity from the ground up, and why this movement is bigger than any one bottle or brand. This is the story of people who are all in — from field to still to glass — and the ancient plant that is quietly changing everything.
