Nach-Yo Ordinary Tequila Tasting at The Woodlands Country Club
THE WOODLANDS, TX – Some of The Woodlands area’s favorite purveyors of food and tequila came out to the recently held Nach-Yo Ordinary Tequila Tasting. Industry experts were on hand to guide, educate and share their passion with attendees about all things tequila.
Tequila is the most well-known and recognized spirit produced in Mexico. While stories of its origin vary, many believe the spirit has been produced for thousands of years. On March 24th, 2022, Food and Vine Times presented an amazing event at The Woodlands Country Club – Palmer Course for all things tequila.
Guests enjoyed great light bites with local restaurants serving food selections specifically prepared to pair well with tequila. Food, music, a Tequila Forum Seminar, and tequila/mezcal tastings, served both neat and as batched cocktails, were sipped and savored by all.
Many tequila brands were represented at the event, including: 1800 Cristalino, Corralejo, El Bandido Yankee Tequila, El Tesoro, G4 Tequila, Ghost Tequila, Hacienda de Chihuahua Sotol, Jose Cuervo, Lalo, Los Arango, Maestro Dobel, Mezcal Local, Mijenta, Patron, Prospero, Ranch Rider Spirits Co., Republic Tequila, Revel, Siempre, Tres Agaves, Xicaru.
Special features of the event included Beso Del Sol Sangria Station and beers by Delerium. The “Party Wagon” Raffle benefitted the Woodlands Arts Council. Boasting “Fun with a Purpose,” attendees had a chance at the Party Wagon Raffle worth well over $1,000 in tequila, swag, and bar essentials. Every dollar raised went directly to The Woodlands’ beloved nonprofit, The Woodlands Arts Council.
The “Translating Tequila” Seminar, a 101 level conversation about the history and process of making tequila, was hosted by Tyler Wang, Brand Ambassador of El Tesoro Tequila. El Tesoro is a Tequila based in Houston, Texas, and covers the central United States.
