Back by popular demand, mezcal expert Julia Gross will share her unique perspective on the wonderful world of mezcal. Mezcal lovers are fond of calling this incredible spirit "the wine of the spirit world," and its capacity for terroir expression is just the beginning: this might be the most geek-worthy spirit in the world. Julia represents Mal Bien, a portfolio of small producers of agave-based spirits from all over Mexico, distributed by PM Spirits.
Julia Gross is a mezcal specialist with a focus on producer advocacy. Her work includes teaching cheese and mezcal pairing classes in both the US and Mexico and working with mezcal nonprofits including Maestros de Mezcal. She has been featured in Culture and Forbes magazines speaking on the importance of artisan-made mezcals. We will sample from Mal Bien's amazing lineup of small-production mezcal expressions and learn about the history and future of this beautiful beverage.

Trediberri, founded only in 2007, is one of the newest producers in the entire Barolo DOC. Yet their wines taste so utterly classical and traditional that you would never guess. The wines feel like they've been around for generations.
Domaine Michel Lafarge is one of Burgundy’s great names, a true superstar in the pantheon of the region’s best estates.
They make very traditional Volnays that last a long, long time, are very limited, and are very expensive. But they also make some less exalted wines, which we affectionately call their “baby” wines.
The first time we tasted Pierre Girardin’s wines, we were floored. They had that rare mix of taut structure, subtle reduction, and soaring energy, all wrapped in a texture that whispered top-tier white Burgundy. When we learned the winemaker behind them was still in his 20s, we were stunned. These were wines with the quiet confidence of a seasoned pro, not a newcomer still finding his voice.
