Say you want to taste some mezcal

We have you covered by a variety of tastings for the Bay Area, New York, even Chicago. Here's the quick list:

And that's not all, we're already planning additional tastings, tours, and sundry other events so stay tuned for even more mezcal action in 2016. As you can tell, we're super excited to be expanding Mezcal: Mexico in a Bottle to New York and Chicago this year. Next year we plan on expanding to other cities so if you have an idea, contact us. We will have ticket details on New York next week.



And don't worry, we're working on bringing mezcal to as many people and places as possible through Mezcal Week this year. Details on that coming soon.

When we're not setting up tastings we are still covering the world of mezcal.

Mezcal's moment



Just in case you've been living under a rock, mezcal has been hitting the big time lately. The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, and Afar Magazine all unveiled big articles on this mezcal trend in the same week. I'm proud to say that I was part of the Afar Magazine article and we're really happy that we know everyone else in the other two articles, they definitely deserve the attention. Here is hoping that this is just one more step in mezcal becoming much more than a trend.
