I haven't done laundry in 30 years," says Alice Feiring as we descend the steps of her local laundromat to drop her bag. "I wouldn't know how to use a washing machine." ... Feiring has been instrumental in bringing natural wine to America's consciousness.
On this particular Wednesday in early December, Feiring has things to do in lower Manhattan, only one of them laundry related. "I want to say hi to Jen at the butcher on my block who just got married," the petite, bespectacled, red-headed Feiring tells me. ... Before we visit the butcher, we hit up an industry tasting just off Canal Street at the offices of Jenny & Francois Selections.
"I don't think it's anything different than what was starting to happen eight years ago, where, for the most part, natural wine has just become the new normal," she tells him. But the road to normal has been a rocky one.
