Two Guys Talking Wine
All You Needed To Know About Los Arango - and More...
Ep. 355
•
Welcome to part 3 of 3 of Two Guys Talking Tequila mini series. Gone are the days of a shot glass - a dash of salt & wedge of lime We learned that really good tequila is not a drink for shots – it's a spirit to be savoured on the rocks, or in a margarita bringing both simple and sophisticated flavours. As we heard last episode, Tequila is woven into the fabric of Mexico, and in this episode, we learn not only about its present, but also the future of tequila; it's an eye-opening conversation that might change the way you see a piece of Mexican heritage on the shelf of your local liquor store.

An Important Message From Two Guys Talking Wine
19:12||Ep. 363We are taking a break from our regular show to make an announcement and own up to our shortcomings as voices in the wine industry. This is an unreserved apology to people who we have hurt and offended with our conduct and content in the past. It is not the standard to which we are trying to set ourselves. As people who are trying to be agents of change in an industry that is ripe for abuse we need to do better. That being said - We may say something offensive in the future - We cannot get better unless people tell us we're falling short. We fully recognize that people have tried to tell us we have been failing in the past through social media, in the reviews of this show - and with the occasional phone call. We weren't listening - but we are going to try harder to listen now. André Proulx - andre@andrewinereview.caMichael Pinkus - michael@michaelpinkuswinereview.com
