Item Description

Join agave spirits enthusiasts Lou Bank and Chava Periban for a 90-minute "Agave Road Trip-in-Place" via Zoom!

Maybe you can't physically go to Mexico anytime soon. But Lou and Chava, the hosts of the Heritage Radio Network podcast Agave Road Trip, can take your heart and mind there with this virtual tasting of rare mezcal, tequila, raicilla, and other heritage agave spirits. You'll receive four sets of five airline-sized bottles of spirits, and Lou and Chava will arrange a time to lead you and three friends on a guided tasting. They'll tell stories about the men and women who fermented and distilled the spirits, the rural Mexican communities where they were made, and the fun they got into on the trips to acquire the spirits.

Lou and Chava have led agave spirits tastings across the continent - for consumers and professionals alike. Lou's nonprofit, S.A.C.R.E.D. Agave has been featured in the New York Times and at Tales of the Cocktail, and their podcast has been featured in Forbes and Better Homes & Gardens (though they say neither of their homes - or gardens - would qualify for inclusion).

Sounds like a great trip (in place)!
