Tequila: A Guide to Types, Flights, Cocktails, and Bites

Joanne Weir, awarding-winning chef and author famous for her cookbooks and TV cooking series, just launched her new book Tequila: A Guide to Types, Flights, Cocktails, and Bites. This is a beautifully written book about the history, heritage, process and types of Tequila, with stunning photographs to match. Tequila illustrates how this spirit can be compared to the finest single-malt Scotches or Cognacs (something we've always felt) and how versatile Tequila is. Joanne Weir also features dozens of Tequila cocktail recipes, some are old favorites like the Margarita and others are unique exotic recipes like Ronaldo Colli's Chaparrita Dorada, as well as delicious food pairings. (Check out our very own Jacques Bezuidenhout on page 38.)
On Sunday, we had to privilege of attending Ms. Weir's book launch & signing at Tres Agaves, one of San Francisco's premier Tequila bars. Nearly 200 guests came to meet Joanne and own the first copies of Tequila. Partida Tequila was also on hand sampling guests on their premium 100% estate-grown Tequila. We would like to thank Joanne and her team, Tres Agaves and Partida for a fantastic evening of fun, education and great cocktails. If you are new to Tequila or are an aficionado who is looking to expand your recipe collection, we highly encourage picking up a copy of Tequila: A Guide to Types, Flights, Cocktails, and Bites.
