“I am honored to be guest editor for this issue of Chilled, especially since it’s full of the ‘spirits of Mexico’. We hope everyone from coast to coast makes it to our annual Spirits of Mexico Festival in San Diego, California this September. This past year in March we also premiered in Las Vegas, concurrent with the Nightclub & Bar Show and we’ll be hosting the event in New York City this October. Guests attending the event can learn about the history and culture of each spirit, its impact on society, current trends, appropriate tasting techniques and, of course, sample each of the participating spirits. Hope to see you there!”
