SUMMARY:The Art of the Agave Afternoon: A Friday Tasting with Sal Divina Mezcal
DESCRIPTION:The Art of the Agave Afternoon: A Friday Tasting with Sal Divina Mezcal\nThere is a specific kind of magic that settles over Cortland Ave as the work week winds down. The coastal fog starts to play tag with the sun\, the neighborhood energy shifts toward the weekend\, and the ritual of the “Friday pour” begins. This Friday\, June 5\, we are leaning into that transition with a tasting event that celebrates both tradition and modern convenience. \nFrom 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM\, SF Tequila Shop welcomes Sal Divina for an afternoon dedicated to the soul of the agave plant. \nThe Spirit of Tradition\nMezcal is often called the “elixir of the gods\,” and for good reason. It carries the weight of history and the flavor of the earth. During our session\, we will be exploring the nuances of Sal Divina’s artisanal mezcal. This isn’t just about the smoke; it is about the terroir\, the patience of the harvest\, and the heritage of the distillers. Whether you are a seasoned collector or just starting to distinguish your Espadín from your Tobalá\, there is always something new to discover when these bottles are uncorked. \nModern Convenience\, Handcrafted Flavor\nWhile we love the ceremony of a neat pour\, we also recognize that summer in the city calls for something effortless. That is where Sal Divina’s RTD (Ready-to-Drink) cocktails come in. \nWe have all been there: you want a high-quality cocktail for a park hangout or a rooftop gathering\, but you don’t want to lug a shaker and three different bottles of bitters. These canned cocktails bridge that gap\, offering a perfectly balanced\, bar-quality experience that fits in a cooler. We’ll be cracking open a few varieties to show you exactly how they’ve captured the bright\, bold spirit of the Brnal Heights in a portable format. \nJoin Us on Cortland\nTastings are about more than just the liquid in the glass; they are about the conversation and the community. We invite you to drop by our space at 3101 Mission Street\, meet fellow agave enthusiasts\, and perhaps find the bottle (or the four-pack) that will define your weekend. \nEvent Summary\nWhere: SF Tequila Shop\, 801 Cortland Ave\nWhen: Friday\, June 5 | 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM\nThe Draw: Traditional Sal Divina Mezcal and their premium RTD cocktail lineup. \nStop by\, say hello\, and let’s toast to the weekend with something truly exceptional. Under the San Francisco sky\, there’s no better place to be. \nCalendar: Bernal Heights and Beyond\nBernal ConnectMike Doherty serves as Chief Experience Officer at Greening Projects\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming underutilized urban spaces into vibrant green areas

This is your rare opportunity to meet the mastermind behind the liquid. Master Distiller Oscar Vazquez\, renowned for his precision and incredible legacy at iconic distilleries like El Pandillo\, will be in the shop to share his craft. \nCome taste the beautiful expressions of Enelalma\, learn about traditional brick-oven cooking\, and chat with Oscar himself about what makes this award-winning spirit so uniquely spectacular. \nWhere: SF Tequila Shop (801 Cortland Ave\, San Francisco\, CA)  \nWhen: Friday\, May 29th | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM  \nAdmission: Free to attend! \nBring your fellow tequila enthusiasts \nOscar Vazquez\nOscar Vazquez Camarena is a highly respected figure in the craft agave world\, known for combining technical scientific precision with a deep respect for traditional methods. \n\nThe Chemist’s Approach: A chemist by trade\, Vazquez is celebrated for his “hands-on” and meticulous approach to distillation. He focuses heavily on the science of fermentation and the impact of mineral-rich deep well water on the final spirit.\nThe El Pandillo Legacy: Before launching his recent projects\, he spent over a decade working at the world-renowned Destilería El Pandillo (NOM 1579). There\, he worked alongside legendary master distiller Felipe Camarena on iconic brands such as G4\, Volans\, Terralta\, and ArteNOM 1579.\nCurrent Projects: He currently serves as the Master Distiller for Enelalma Tequila and Tequila Corrido. He also crafts the Manuscrito brand at the family-owned El Sabino Distillery (NOM 1643) in Jesús María\, Jalisco.\nDistillation Philosophy: Vazquez is a staunch advocate for the “clean” tequila movement.\n\n\nHis production signatures include:\n\n100% Additive-Free: He is a key member of the new generation of distillers dedicated to authenticity\, ensuring no glycerin\, syrups\, or artificial colors are used.\nHighland Terroir: He works exclusively with mature\, single-estate Blue Weber agave from the Los Altos (Highlands) region\, which provides the characteristic bright citrus and floral notes found in Enelalma.\nTraditional Methods: He uses traditional brick ovens for slow-cooking agave and copper pot stills for double distillation to preserve the plant’s complex flavors.\n\nThe Enelalma Connection\nIn collaboration with founder Melanie M. Shelby\, Vazquez formulated Enelalma’s profile as a “prestige sipping tequila.” His technical skill was instrumental in creating its specific flavor profile — noted for its complexity\, elegant mouthfeel\, and a finish that balances cooked agave with delicate floral aromas. \nExpert Tip: If you’re attending the tasting\, ask him about the “proprietary yeast” or the specific “deep well water” used at the Peña Blanca distillery — these are the technical nuances that Oscar is famous for perfecting. \nAbout SF Tequila Shop\nLocated in the heart of the Bernal Heights neighborhood\, SF Tequila Shop is a premier destination for enthusiasts of traditional agave spirits.
