Join us Thursday, September 17th from 6:00–7:30 PM in the Private Tasting Room at Westchester Wine Warehouse for a delicious exploration of two of Mexico’s most fascinating spirits: mezcal and sotol.

Julia Gross of Mezcal Mal Bien and Steve Martin of Cardenxe Sotol (no, not that Steve Martin) will guide us through an evening devoted to the culture, people, places and traditions behind these remarkable spirits.

Six Spirits. Six Artisan Cheese Pairings
