More from Mexico, as we drive around the Town of Tequila in the back of a pickup truck drinking Tequila Fuenteseca Reserva 18 year old Extra Anejo bottled in 1995.

I have just returned from Mexico as a guest of Tequila Fortelaza. It was an amazing trip.

These things weren’t talked about much back then, but help lay the groundwork for where we are now. Then there are more...
