Distillers are the new rock stars

A blurb by me in today's San Francisco Chronicle:

Next big thing: Tequila bottle signings Camper English Friday, August 10, 2007

Further evidence that distillers are the new rock stars: Carlos Camarena, owner and third-generation master distiller of El Tesoro Tequila, will be in town next week to sign autographs. The distillery recently launched a limited edition 7-year-old El Tesoro Anniversario tequila in celebration of its 70th anniversary. Camarena will sign bottles of the product at the John Walker & Company liquor store (175 Sutter St., at Kearny, San Francisco; 415-986-2707) from 4 to 5 p.m. Wednesday. Bottles may be purchased at the store for about $185 or you can bring your own should you happen to have one sitting around. Then follow the tour to a Q&A session and discussion with Camarena about the history of El Tesoro from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at nearby Cantina (580 Sutter St., at Mason, San Francisco; 415-398-0195) the same day.
