Crafted in Jalisco from 100% Blue Weber agave, Redondel Diamante approaches tequila with a combination of tradition, modern production and a strong connection to Mexican culture. The lineup includes three distinct expressions—Silver, Reposado and Añejo Cristalino—and tasting them side by side makes one thing immediately apparent: the differences aren't simply about how long the tequila spends in a barrel. Each expression brings a different personality to the glass. We recently spent some time with all...

Paloma Vineyard: Where Mountain, Family and Patience Make the Wine

Image

Then there are wineries where the vineyard remains the center of the story, where the landscape, the farming and the people who have cared for the property for decades are inseparable from what ultimately appears in the bottle.
