Preserving Tradition: A Proposal for Geographical Indications in Oaxaca

  • The Drawing Room Above Maynards Kitchen 400 North Toole Avenue Tucson, AZ, 85705 United States (map)

Hugo Gonzalez, the National Brand Ambassador for Of Spine & Vine Imports leads this in-depth discussion around the cultural and geographic diversity of Oaxaca and why a one-size-fits-all approach to Denomination of Origen may not work.

In this presentation, specific Geographical Indications representing 18 unique mezcal-producing regions within Oaxaca are proposed, with a detailed and informative map. It is shown how 6 main parameters are used to define the boundaries for the proposal and how in turn these parameters and regions will help preserve traditional mezcal, the ecological resources used in its production, and its regional organoleptic profile.
