Tasting Event with Quiote Mezcaleria
Join us for an educational tasting event with Quiote Mezcaleria on February 20th, 6 PM - 8PM at Switchboard in Downtown Austin.
Aidan from Quiote will provide a guided tasting of a few mezcales hand-picked and available one night only to sample in Texas. Space is very limited.
"At Quiote Mezcaleria we promote maestros mezcalerxs and their traditional production process. We travel all over Oaxaca to source small-production mezcal and showcase the hard work of maestros and maestras whose recipes and knowledge have been passed down for generations and shared through family and their community. We do not alter the mezcal from its original form. The mezcal we offer is unique with a story to tell, and speaks to the place of its origin. Our passion is to preserve mezcal in its original form and transcend it into mezcal of the future."
