Pipette Issue 9

Pipette Magazine is an independent print magazine about natural wines. The magazine highlights small producers of natural wine, and the communities around them, through an edgy, contemporary perspective. We publish top quality, original journalism alongside unique illustration and photography.

This “Behind the Scenes” issue contains the following:

INTERVIEWS, ESSAYS & FEATURES

An interview with the first (and only!) natural winemaker in Finland; an essay by Brooklyn wine professional Alex Alan on how post-2020 New York restaurant culture might look; a long, powerful interview with Lauren Friel of Rebel Rebel (Boston) on why natural wine is definitely political and what she’s doing about it; a story about one of our boutique magazine stockists in Stockholm who are making sure that print isn’t dead; the story behind the iconic “Vine Wine Sign”; and a look at how Canada’s hottest new natural winery leverages branding; a feature on Joy Kull aka La Villana (Lazio, Italy); and a photo essay by Twin Island Cider (British Columbia) who documents their own clay harvesting and vessel making process.

THE MAKING OF PIPETTE

This section includes interviews with our editor/publisher Rachel Signer and our layout designer Emma Dragovic, as well as a visual and written look at how a magazine is printed, and why we do it in Germany.

RECIPES FROM NATURAL WINEMAKERS

For Issue 9, we reached out to a few natural winemakers we wish we could visit to see what they’ve been cooking. Recipes include contributions from La Stoppa (Italy); MicroBio Wines (Spain); Martha Stoumen (U.S.); Gut Oggau (Austria); and Alessandro Viola (Sicily).
