If you’re an avid tequila drinker and haven’t branched out to mezcal, you’re completely missing out. Like tequila, mezcal is a Mexican-made spirit crafted from agave. And while the two spirits are similar, there are a lot of differences as well. The spirit must be made from Blue Weber agave to be considered a tequila. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from more than forty different agaves.

Until quite recently, high quality Marsala wine rarely made its way to the USA. Some mediocre varieties were imported, most intended merely for cooking purposes. But Florio Wine Cellars, the dominant producers of the style, is trying to change that. I previously reviewed one of their dry, well-aged Marsalas and was very impressed.
