About this event
TEQUILA Vs MEZCAL
With Antony Anderson
Several times a year you can come along for an authentic taste of Mexico without the airfare by joining us at Sommelier Antony's Tequila Versus Mezcal Tasting to celebrate Mexico's National Days.
Enjoy four shots of authentic artisanal tequila and mezcal direct from Mexico, along with a four-course specially matched lunch, and learn about the manufacturing process, the difference between Mezcal and Tequila, and what makes a good (and a bad) one.
