(NBBJ) - Agavé Garden (agavegarden.com) is not grape wine, but it is fermented in local wine country and shipped in wine bottles. It’s not distilled like tequila, but it is made from organic syrup of Agavé tequilana weber, or blue agave. This “fine agavé wine” is the work of custom vintner Owl Ridge Wine Services of Sebastopol. “When people first hear of it, they don’t know what to make of it,” said John Tracy, Owl Ridge proprietor.
Owl Ridge winemaker Joe Otos and Mr. Tracy came up with the beverage in December 2011 as a way to extend the company’s line of products, and it helps keeps the winery fully utilized year-round.
