Natural Wine Revolution Crawl

Visit the bars opened by people who drank at Bendito in the early days. GOTA with 200+ references and dim wooden tables. La Fisna in Lavapiés pouring the good stuff "long before Madrid decided it was cool." Masa in Chamberí - "where natural wine is headed." Half dozen new bars opened in the past year alone.
