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

SUMMARY:Beyond Tequila: Discovering the Hidden Gems of Mexican Wine
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Tequila: Discovering the Hidden Gems of Mexican Wine\nWhen you think of exceptional Mexican beverages\, world-class tequila and traditional mezcal are usually the first to come to mind. But a quiet revolution is happening across Mexico’s vineyards. From the high-altitude valleys of Central Mexico to the coastal breezes of Baja California\, Mexican winemaking is stepping into the global spotlight. \nTo celebrate this exciting movement\, SF Tequila Shop is hosting an exclusive tasting event featuring three incredible bottles that perfectly capture the diversity\, innovation\, and terroir of modern Mexican wine. \nThe Lineup: Three Bottles Changing the Narrative\nOur featured flight moves from crisp\, high-altitude whites to a deeply structured\, elegant red. Here is what we are pouring: \nTerra Mädi Sauvignon Blanc (Querétaro)\n\nThe Vibe: Crisp\, clean\, and vibrant.\nThe Region: Querétaro\, located in Central Mexico\, is famous for its high-altitude viticulture.\nThe extreme elevation brings cool nights and warm days\, creating a Sauvignon Blanc with bright citrus notes\, striking acidity\, and a beautiful mineral finish. It is the perfect refreshing starter.\n\nViñas Pijoan “Silvana” Chenin-Sauvignon Blanc Blend (Valle de Guadalupe)\n\nThe Vibe: Aromatic\, complex\, and expressive.\nThe Region: The Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California is the heart of Mexico’s wine renaissance.\nThis boutique\, low-intervention blend combines the texture of Chenin Blanc with the bright fruitiness of Sauvignon Blanc and a hint of aromatic Moscatel. It delivers tropical fruit notes balanced by a clean\, lingering finish.\n\nTorre de Tierra Tempranillo / Cabernet Sauvignon (Guanajuato)\n\nThe Vibe: Bold\, structured\, and sophisticated.\nThe Region: Crafted by Cuna de Tierra in historic Dolores Hidalgo\, Guanajuato\, this red blend shows just how sophisticated Mexican terroir can be.\nOld World grapes meet New World climate to offer deep\, dark fruit\, subtle baking spices\, and beautifully integrated tannins.\n\nJoin Us for the Tasting\nReady to explore these bottles for yourself? Skip the standard happy hour and join us for a pour. \n\nLocation: SF Tequila Shop\nDate: Friday\, June 26th\nTime: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM\n\nWhether you are already a collector of global wines or completely new to Mexican viticulture\, this casual\, drop-in tasting is the perfect chance to discover your next favorite bottle. \nNo reservations are needed\, just bring your curiosity and an appreciation for exceptional craftsmanship. \nSee you there! \nSan Francisco Food & Drink Fest\nBernal ConnectMike Doherty serves as Chief Experience Officer at Greening Projects\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming underutilized urban spaces into vibrant green areas

SUMMARY:Exploring Ancestral Terroirs: Salvadores Mezcal Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Ancestral Terroirs: Salvadores Mezcal Tasting\nAgave enthusiasts can mark their calendars for an afternoon of exploration\, heritage\, and deeply complex flavors to kick off the weekend. Whether a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning to explore the vast world of traditional agave spirits\, this is a lineup that should not be missed. \nEvent Details\nWhat: Salvadores Mezcal Tasting\nWhere: SF Tequila Shop\, 801 Cortland Ave\, San Francisco\, CA\nWhen: Saturday\, June 27th\, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM \nHonoring Oaxacan Heritage: The Story of Salvadores\nSalvadores Mezcal stands as a testament to family tradition spanning generations. Rooted deeply in the community of Tlacolula de Matamoros\, Oaxaca\, the brand’s history dates back to the early 1900s when the current producer’s great-grandfather first began crafting spirit from local maguey. \nOver generations of meticulous knowledge transfer\, the family built their modern Casa Palacios Destilería in 2019 and officially registered the Salvadores brand in 2020 to bring their ancestral methods to the global stage. Every bottle represents a dedication to preserving the craft through high-quality\, artisanal production methods. \nTraditional Production Methods\nWhat makes Salvadores stand out on the shelf is an uncompromising commitment to time-honored\, rustic techniques that highlight the true essence of the plant and its environment: \n\nCooking: Agave hearts (piñas) are slowly roasted in traditional earthen conical pits to develop a rich\, complex smokiness.\nCrushing: The cooked agave is crushed using a traditional heavy tahona stone wheel.\nFermentation: Wild fermentation takes place naturally in open-air wooden tubs.\nDistillation: The mash undergoes a careful double distillation process in traditional copper alembic stills to refine the spirit while locking in delicate aromas.\n\nEvent Gathering on Cortland Avenue\nVisitors can stop by the shop to meet fellow agave lovers\, discuss traditional production styles\, and find their next favorite bottle under the guidance of the SF Tequila Shop team. There is no better way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Bernal Heights than savoring the rich\, diverse terroirs of Oaxaca. \nBernal ConnectMike Doherty serves as Chief Experience Officer at Greening Projects\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming underutilized urban spaces into vibrant green areas
