Plus: Top U.S. Natural Wine Shops Jean-Pierre Robinot, an intense, middle-aged Frenchman, is a natural winemaker in his country's Loire region. His hair is like Ben Franklin's.

For lunch today, I brought in the most amazing chickpea salad. Not usually a dazzling dish, but here's what was different: I bought the chickpeas at a stand at the Mercado de San Miguel, which I visited when I was in Spain for the Madrid Fusión chefs' congress .

For anyone who has ever …
