TASTING JUNE 2021: DIY ENSEMBLE

What’s up Mission Mezcal Clubbers!

Update for May: Shipments go out Wednesday, June 23rd.

This month’s virtual tasting is with Justin Briggs, agave spirits portfolio manager for Skurnik Wine and Spirits.

Virtual tasting is Monday, June 28th @ 7:00p EST. (Just a reminder, tastings are always the last Monday of every month.)

You should have gotten an email with all the deets, but just in case, the Zoom link is here. If for some reason you haven’t received your June shipment yet, just shoot us an email: MMC@missiontaqueria.com

Just a note on how the club will work in general: Subscription members will be receiving your Mezcal samples in the third week of every month, then we’ll be having our virtual tasting/class on the last Monday of every month.

As with any of our Mezcal shipments, you can start sipping away as soon as you get them. We suggest saving an ounce or so of each bottle if you want to play along during our tasting, but we know all too well how an open bottle of Mezcal can quickly become an empty bottle of Mezcal.

Even if you’re not a subscription member, you’re always welcome to join in on the classes, and you’ll get the monthly emails detailing what our theme is, and the agave spirits we’ve selected if you want to play along at home. Subscriptions are still up for grabs too, so you can jump in at any time.

Thanks so much for joining us on this journey. We’re super excited to share in it with you.

Salud! MMC

Feliz primavera a todos. ;) It’s so nice to feel some warmth return to our air and our energy as we emerge from our pandemic winter. It feels like there’s suddenly so many little corners of life to discover joy in this new season, and we hope your April shipment for this month’s MMC bundle will be one of them.

This month we’re featuring spirits from our friends at Maguey Melate. We’ve mentioned them before on the floor of the club as the grown up older sibling to our humble little mezcal club. I think with this shipment you’ll see why.

Melate is dedicated to featuring the Mezcalero/as who are the backbone of the entire body of agave spirits. They also make the important distinction of labeling their products as “agave spirits” instead of “mezcal,” a topic at the heart of the fight these jimadores face, and one we’ll cover at length during our virtual tasting this Monday, April 26th at 7:00.

Joining us on the call this month will be Dalton Kreiss, the founder of Melate. He’ll be representing the spirits and stories of Carlos, Luis, Antonio & Artemio, who’s precious nectar is in your hands right now. We’re truly honored to have them help foster our nascent club, and connect us to these maestros—not to mention getting this product into the states, then into your copitas.

Can’t wait to toast you all! Talk soon. MMC
