The five classes of tequila, including the unfortunate myth of blanco's inferiority. How to read a tequila label. The seventeen tequila producers to know and brands you need to explore, from giants of the industry like Patron and Jose Cuervo to traditionalists, artisans, and innovators, including Tapatio, Siete Leguas, Ocho, G4, and Cava de Oro.
