Hello, you’ve found LA MESCITA, a newsletter about natural wine!

About me:
Rachel Signer is the founder and publisher of Pipette Magazine, an independent print magazine about natural wine, and the author of the book You Had Me At Pét-Nat: A Natural Wine-Soaked Memoir, which the New York Times called "An inviting coming-of-age story that, though it takes place in a world of back-to-the-earth farming, speaks to the universal yearning of anybody trying to find herself."
Signer's writing about natural wine has appeared in numerous publications both online and in print, including VICE, Vogue, and Wine Enthusiast. She holds a master's degree in cultural anthropology from The New School for Social Research. Originally from the U.S., Signer now lives in Australia where she made natural wine from 2018-2023 under the label Persephone/Cleopatra Wines. She is currently at work on a novel, and leads natural wine tours in Italy.
