Explores the complete universe of taste that is mezcal, Oaxaca's sacred spirit. Host Daniel Hernandez starts out sampling artisanal, hand-crafted mezcales at two cozy tasting bars in Oaxaca City, Mezcaloteca and Los Amantes. Still nursing his buzz, he visits a palenque in nearby Santiago Matatlán, considered the capital region of Oaxaca's mezcal scene. There, he throws a few maguey "hearts" on the fire, and learns how mezcal is made, from plant to first sip. Remember, always "kiss" your mezcal, don't shoot it!
