Mexico and Mescal - A blessed harmony
Quicktime version
Flash version
I can think of no better place to drink Mescal than in Mexico where it is made. The warm dusty or tropical climate (depending on where you are) is perfect for enjoying this age old spirit......and for letting the "spirit in you" out for a little romping around.
Mescal is the predecessor to tequila and has roots in the indigenous Zapotec culture whose ancestors originate thousands of years ago. Mescal is made from the Agave plant of which there are many varieties and Tequila is made primarily from the Blue Agave. The Oaxacan Central Valley is the principal producer and trader of Mescal.
Join us in Oaxaca for a visit to a very unique mescal distillery where thing are still done the "old fashion way." Sonoma County wine tasting rooms have nothing on this!
