Resources about Tequila and Mezcal: Books, Movies, Websites
April 08, 2014
Agave-obsessive Bobby Heugel of Anvil and Pastry War in Houston collected a list of resources about tequila and mezcal that I asked if I could share it.
Not all are in English, and most are hard to find, but this should give people somewhere to begin the search. Links when present are to Amazon.com
