One of the most extravagant expressions I've had in a long time is Mauricio Cantú's Sotol, produced in Cuatrociénegas, Coahuila. I had the privilege of visiting this territory, and I can testify that everything up there is unique, from the soil to the technologies they have used over time. I welcome you to this unlikely episode. I hope you enjoy it!

Bienvenidos a Heritage Mezcal en Español.

En este episodio con Alan Schubert y Enrique Cesard nos acercamos a la muy improbable historia de los vinos del Norte, específicamente a la de aquellos producidos en Nuevo León. Si no ha tenido el gusto de probarlo, recomiendo ampliamente pedirse una botella de Pecho Tierra, y si ya lo probaron, pues aquí está la historia completa del como, donde y porqué.

I think a lot about agriculture, in my mind it was the first way in which humans expressed themselves. They planted for survival, but also to meet and expand their desires.

They were able to create more deliciousness and more complexity hand in hand with the territory they worked. The land was loved and it loved us back. Somehow, just very recently, this relationship was broken. And now it seems we've decided to abuse the land and the environments we live in rather than work with them.

In this second episode with Sophia Trapp, we explore how agave and mezcal production could possibly offer some answers to how we can love our land once again. I hope you enjoy it.
