Its National Tequila Day, and this treasured agave-based liquor is more than just your favorite blanco tequila.
Inbeded throughout Mexican culture, this lively spirit has many versions that are perfect for your next summer cocktail. For example, Mezcal is also made from different types of agave varietals, like espadin, tobalá or tobaziche, and differs in the region that it's grown and how its distilled. The final product results in an earthy, slightly smokey spirit that is a perfect alternative to the classic margarita.

Today we are highlighting on of our favorite red wines, Altos las Hormigas Malbec!
The Altos las Hormigas Terroir Project stems from the idea that the main creative force behind the wine is its place of origin Moreso than the winemaker. Mendoza history has gifted Los Altos with four centuries of local viticultural heritage, where they believe that Malbec is the best vehicle for this Terroir. This project is aimed at showing how diverse its expression can be as we move across this vast and wonderful region.
We love offering this wine with so many of our tastings and love the bold profile of black currant and lush raspberry. Book your next wine tasting with this exceptional selection today!
