Founded in 2016 by former executives of the Bacardi Group (Luis Bach, Robert Furniss-Roe, and Juan Rovira), Samson & Surrey was born from questions... What if there were a company that could help the best craft brands reach their potential? What if there were a company that could combine the ethos of independent craft with the resources of larger companies? What if we could bring together a portfolio of great brands that people would want to talk about and that would deservedly become famous?

Join us as we learn about the Samson & Surrey portfolio and how they choose special brands worth celebrating. Exact labels TBD, but may include FEW Spirits, Widow Jane, Brenne and others.

As always, your guided tasting comes with 3 cocktails created uniquely for this event by our beverage manager, Jona Ruiz, and optional dinner from a neighborhood restaurant.

Join us for our veinte y dos de Mayo edicion of Wise Up Miercoles, as we discover and celebrate Ocho Tequilas.

The Ocho story began in 2008 (that's "dos mil ocho" if you're still bilingualing with us), when two men with a love for agave spirits came together with the single goal of proving that the concept of terroir exists in tequila, inspired by the heritage and process surrounding fine wine. The famed Carlos Camarena, a 5th generation farmer and 3rd generation tequilero teamed up with Tomas Estes, the man responsible for bringing tequila culture to Europe. Together, they developed a tequila that is the purest expression of the blue weber agave. Thus, Tequila Ocho was born, and we can't wait to taste what the terroir of the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, have to offer.
