“In a city that is a gigantic tourist trap, this tasting stood out as a rare gem of authenticity. David was incredibly knowledgeable about Mezcal. His stock was full of bottles not commercially available (we checked) and we learned more about mezcal in our time there than in our decade of drinking it. If you’re the type of person who wants something more real than the cheap Vegas-like thrills in Cabo, I cannot recommend this high enough.”
