Through the lens of the Cuervo family’s rise to dominance, the book unearths the rivalries, political turmoil, and bloody battles that shaped the tequila industry. From clandestine deals and wartime survival tactics to international trade disputes, Tequila Wars offers a deep dive into the fight over Mexico’s most famous export. About the Author Ted Genoways is an award-winning journalist and historian known for his in-depth storytelling on agriculture, industry, and culture. His work includes This Blessed Earth, The Chain, and several other acclaimed titles that explore the intersections of history, business, and power.

She documents food traditions of the Arizona-Sonora borderlands, and she sent me back home with a goody bag of regional delights: carne seca (sundried beef), tepary beans (a small, meaty legume grown by natives since time immemorial) and flour tortillas called sobaqueras that are the size of a basketball hoop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6005cff14aa19ec33755e6/1550600805696-UXDRFZUZUYCDO0W9UBS5/https_%252F%252Fblogs-images.forbes.com%252Fkarlaalindahao%252Ffiles%252F2018%252F02%252FCasamigos-Mezcal_George-Clooney-and-Rande-Gerber_02.jpg Press Gallery - George Clooney and Rande Gerber Launch New Casamigos Mezcal (Copy) George Clooney and Rande Gerber Launch New Casamigos Mezcal When you sell your company for $1 billion, it can be easy to lose your hunger for business.

After a dozen years in the Northeast, he moved his young family to San Diego where his son was born. It was in America’s Finest City, just a stone’s throw away from the Mexican border, where his passion for Tequila and other agave spirits began to take shape. Through years of bartending and making his way through the ranks of restaurant and hotel management and operations, Simmons focused on building world class bar programs and profitable restaurants. Taking a job at the prestigious Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa in 2012, he curated his first large scale agave program and launched the All Agave Club. Then, as the General Manager of The Patio on Goldfinch and later as the Director of Food and Beverage for celebrity Chef Brian Malarkey, Simmons created and facilitated the Agave Dinner Series. These popular and well-regarded agave and food pairing events often featured award-winning chefs from Southern California and Baja, Mexico, including the likes of Javier Plascencia, Drew Deckman, Flor Franco, and Miguel Angel Guerrero, along with Master Distillers from Mexico, including Carlos Camarena, Tomas Estes, Guillermo Sauza, Pepe Hermosillo, and others. In 2017, Simmons joined forces with business partner Alan Ezeir and founded Sipping Life, an agave-centric company focused on providing professional level tastings throughout the U.S. as well as guided tours to Mexico. Chris has earned his Level Two Master Mezcalier certification and is a Certified Catador, obtaining his title from the Mexican Academy of Tequila Tasters led by the highly respected Francisco Hajnal. He has also earned Sommelier certifications through the Court of Master Sommeliers as well as the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET). He now travels the U.S. and Mexico, working as the National Agave Spirits Specialist for Samson & Surrey.

He grew up in Southern California, where his family would escape the smog-clouded clamor of the LA basin to vacation under the clear skies and quiet of the Mojave Desert. There he and his sister would eagerly explore the desert environment, and excitedly share their discoveries when returning to the family campsite. It was only natural that when he retired, Dan and his wife Sue would decide to return to the desert. But then, wanting to escape the maddening excess and expense of California, Tucson, Arizona would become their new home. Eager once again to explore this new environment, Dan received his initial certification as a Sonoran Desert Naturalist in 2011, and in 2018 he earned his designation as an Arizona Master Naturalist. He devotes most of his volunteer hours at Saguaro National Park - West, where he helps visitors plan their activities and presents interpretive programs on our native fauna and flora, including the agave. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6005cff14aa19ec33755e6/1647192639946-EZ18XT2SUP948VA5IHC9/Diana+y+faby+2.jpg Speakers & Presenters - Diana Pinzon (Copy) Diana Pinzon Diana Pinzón Co-founder of Zinacantán Mezcal with Fabiola Torres, is a Colombo-Mexican Forest Engineer and conservationist who has worked on ecological restoration projects in Mexico for more than 15 years.

When I arrived in Tucson, I stayed with my aunt until I graduated from high school. Upon my arrival, I found out I needed to not only learn what was taught at school but also, I didn’t just have to learn what was taught at school but also a new culture and a new language, a task that I enjoyed (and still do) because I fall in love with Tucson and its people. I started working as a musician that same year but at 17 Years Old I had to step outside the saloon or cantina on my breaks because I was not old enough to stay inside. After graduating from High school I started going to college taking classes in Music and construction the two things I enjoyed the most, I also got a part-time job cleaning offices after my music performances. I married my wife Aracely in 1999 and we had our first child Carlos in 2000, Darien in 2001, and Xitlaly in 2004. I started an HVAC company in 2009 and started working with Bacanora back in 2012, importing the second Bacanora in the states. That project was a test flight to import and distribute liquor spirits, a company that stayed as a project until 2021 when we made the decision to make it into a business with the involvement of our children (adults by now) We import Bacanora Los Cantiles 1905 in partnership with the Portillo Family in Mexico and our family represents the brand in the states as part of a perpetual exclusive agreement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6005cff14aa19ec33755e6/1550602190853-1D9JTXAZO6O0OHLSWOMK/Paul+Fish_sized.JPG Speakers & Presenters - Paul Fish (Copy) Paul Fish Paul R.

Guerra began his career 32 years ago in Flagstaff where he was hired as a bread-baker. He opened his first bakery there in 1995, and another in Oregon two years later. He eventually returned to Tucson and became a teacher but also was experimenting with bread baking, starting Barrio Bread in his garage in 2009. He chose the name because Barrio is Spanish for neighborhood, and the name emphasizing his commitment to his community. His naturally leavened bread is made with a French method using wild yeast, producing breads that are delicious, easy to digest and have a perfect crust. With his naturally fermented breads he promotes biodiversity and drought tolerance, and enhances the nutrition and flavor profiles of the regional food supply. When Guerra founded Barrio Bread, he had a vision to revive native and heritage varieties of grains in order to build a sustainable grain economy in Southern Arizona. Today, his bakery is a model for the future. Guerra unites regional farmers and millers in bringing healthy whole grains, flours, and breads to consumers, expanding the meaning of Tucson’s gastronomy. Guerra has won numerous awards, including the 2022 James Beard Award for Outstanding Baker and a 2022 MOCA Local Genius Award, Tucson Hispanic Business man of the Year. Other accolades include being named one of the Top Ten Bakers in America by Dessert Professional magazine, a Leveraging Your Localness award from Bite Magazine, and other kudos from Good Food Finder and Local First Arizona. He shares his knowledge through interactive workshops and in the classroom with schoolchildren, at Tucson Village Farm and the University of Arizona. He collaborates with brewers, restaurateurs, and retailers to bring new foods and drinks to life. He recently opened a Barrio Bread location in Gilbert in partnership with Hayden Flour Mills. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6005cff14aa19ec33755e6/1646775496044-EY56RE9PQD7R5HVTOGWU/Francesa+Claverie.png Speakers & Presenters - Francesca Claverie (Copy) Francesca Claverie Leading the Borderlands Restoration Network’s Native Plant Program, Francesca hails from a family forage crop farm in Calexico, CA where her family has strong roots on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.

He led an initiative using his public art and public space practice Artefacting to facilitate the evolution of a club of active neighbors into a peri-urban community center in Viguera Oaxaca (Patria Nueva/Lugar Común 2015-2017). In 2017 he began Rezpiral, a spirit label, project, and fair-trade practice that brings the highest quality traditional artisanal single-batch (non-certified) Mezcals into the US. The project aims to respect and support the multi-generational knowledge, independence, flavors, lands and methods of each mezcalero family; it upholds quality and value, bringing to market an eclectic selection of spirits. These ethics seek to contribute to the countering of industrial standardization and cultural appropriation of this family & pueblo produced spirit and culture of excellence. This Agave Heritage Festival Alex brings us Rezpiral's latest collaborative cultural residency project, a two-part short film "Temporadas de Lluvias/Rainy Seasons" to be projected in various sites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6005cff14aa19ec33755e6/1679962653395-11P9VAAVBHMNQ54XKN5A/Andres+Cruz_Vertical.jpg Speakers & Presenters - Andres Cruz (Copy) Andres Cruz My origins are from Oaxaca, Mixtec on my father side and Oaxaca valley on my mother’s.

I was born in the southern and marginalized region of Mexico City in a municipality known as Xochimilco. This region is known for its traditional wetland agricultural systems, the chinampas (raised beds), which were able to feed most of the city population. The fact that I grew up there made me aware of the relevance of agricultural systems and the conservation of these systems. I studied Biology at the Metropolitan University in México city, then I got master’s studies at the Institute of Ecology UNAM and a research stay at Kyoto Sangyo University in Japan, studying developmental process on different plant species under climate change scenarios. Then I got a PhD at the Institute of Sustainability at UNAM, in Michoacán with the main goal to understand the plants that are used to produce traditional fermented beverages. Subsequently, I specialized in yeast communities related to these fermented environments. These recent years I have been collaborating with several producers of traditional fermented beverages, doing workshops with them in order to visualize the relevance of the microbial communities as a part of the agrobiodiversity that is managed and domesticated by them, “this invisible world”. As well, I have been promoting the conservation of local traditional fermented beverages not only as a significant part of biocultural heritage, but also the consumption of these beverages as a mechanism to improve human health. One of my current main interests now is assessing the challenges for climate change in the fermentation process and how producers perform activities to cope with these challenges. Finally, in the current year I am proposing a novel field in ethnosciences, ethnomicrobiology. This relevant research field is a transdisciplinary approach that allows us to rethink the human-microbes interaction, highlighting the significance of we are holobionts. Since my background has been closely related to nature and the lack of access to some resources my main goal is to look for equitable access to resources for marginalized communities. Looking for social and ecological justice through the study of traditional fermented beverages. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6005cff14aa19ec33755e6/1710941709129-51JX004U3FQXAZW4SUAK/image-asset.jpeg Speakers & Presenters - Demion Clinco (Copy) Demion Clinco Proud Arizona native Demion Clinco has been serving our community in a variety of roles for decades.
