Description

In this episode, we'll discuss pros and cons of a handful of the vessels that are used to drink tequila as well as some of the different techniques that can be employed to discover flavors within.
Make sure you also catch part 2, which will be posted in a few hours!

P.S. - I've heard Riedel pronounced both Reed-el and Rye-dell by experts in the industry... I like the latter.
