A two-part series featuring Elisandro Gonzalez Molina of Tosba Mezcal. We learn the origin story of Tosba, from growing up in a small mountain village to having a full production palenque with a robust cultivation and reforestation program.
Dalton Kreiss & Hanna Woodside of Maguey Melate share their story. We talk about their agave spirits subscription club and why highlighting the producer is as important as the spirit.
Lou Bank, founder of SACRED, discusses the not-for-profit, traveling with agave distillates and the blooming agave in Chicago’s Garfield Park Conservatory.
Tess Rose Lampert talks about her recent trip to Durango. We learn about the Cenizo agave, and she introduces us to Fabiola Avila, the Vinatera for Lagrimas de Dolores.
Tess talks to us about her experience in the mezcal world and what to expect if you go to one of her classes. She explains the etymology of the word mezcal and we discuss terroir. Hey Hey Agave is a podcast from TUYO NYC.
