Este año no fui a #LagunaSeca parada obligatoria en la Clásica Rodada Autogestiva Real de Catorce, pero aún así se consiguió. Excelente #Mezcal del altiplano potosino 👌🏻 Muchas gracias a los compañeros 🚴🏻♂️🚴♀️ y en particular a Joel 👍🏻

A look into Agave production, but not in Mexico, in India.
Few agave plant farms exist at this point, so it's up to scouts to find blocks of plants used as hedgerows, or growing wild, to harvest.
Like with winegrapes, timing of harvest is critical to yield and quality, though I think hand harvesting grapes is easier!! :-)

CW: Booze (store; CDMX)
Picked up some bottles to take back home to Pittsburgh - things I'd not get there. Mezcal, Raicilla and some others. Really enjoyed the conversation at El Liquor Store and the samlings/tastings as I considered what to buy (bottle/glass weight was a factor for bottle 4 and 5...) Many props to the guy there who gave me a roll of bubble wrap too when he rang me up.
(I did bring bubble wrap with me but not enough...)https://maps.app.goo.gl/4fAPyFHSuyEqZCoS9

An #interview with my friend and neighbor, #AnnaBruce, about her new #book about #agave #spirits. If you are interested in #mezcal, #bacanora, #sotol, #raicilla, and #tequila, this is a great book. Bonus, there is a photo of me in it.

Drought in Mexico threatens the production of agave spirits.
"[Rain] totals across much of the country have been less than 25 percent of normal with large sections having totals less than 10 and 5 percent of normal."
The winter has been very warm, reaching 43.6ºC in February, which means moisture reserves in the soil were depleted also.
Agave farmers tend not to irrigate but rely on rainfall to water their crop.
