Mezcalosfera 'Job Cortés' Espadin Distilled with Papalo objectsMezcalosfera de Mezcaloteca is well known in Oaxaca City for sourcing all of their agave spirits directly from producers in seldom traveled parts of Oaxaca that are often hard to get to.

black dirt

and goat milk

Have in a Dark 'n' Stormy

This book is a continuation of his last volume of gorgeous photography of grand interiors

and fresh daytime air

so the wines are almost never single-variety
