Mezcal is the most complex spirit in the world. Every aspect of the process can have an affect on the flavor and aromas of the final product. In this tasting, we will be testing your ability to identify four very important aspects of mezcal: Agave varietal, production method, producer, and location. We will be tasting 8 different mezcals, with a point awarded for each correct answer. The winner will take home a special prize. We look forward to finding San Diego’s biggest Mezcal fan out there!
All week, Tahona will be hosting events for Mezcal Week September 8th-15th. Please check out our Event’s Calender on our website to see what other cool events we have going on that week!

On Wednesday Sept 18th, we are thrilled to host Chef Janina Garay for a Chef’s collaboration at Tahona Bar & Mezcaleria.
About the Chef:
Chef Janina Garay worked for the Addison restaurant team, the jewel in the crown of restaurants in San Diego where French technique and cosmopolitan flavors attract crowds. Under the direction of chef William Bradley, Addison has won 5 Stars from the Forbes Travel Guide and AAA 5 Diamond Restaurant, but above all, they can boast of having Janina Garay, the Mexican who is driving the palates crazy with her mix of haute cuisine knowledge and the curiosity to create new flavors as she learned from playing with pots and homemade pans to the most specialized bakery and pastry ovens.
Janina is accompanied by years of experience that she began to cultivate professionally in 2011 when she entered the practical program of the Cenador de Amos, restaurant in Cantabria, Spain that has the distinction of two Michelin stars.
With the same concern with which she used to see the preparation of her grandmother’s dishes, Janina takes the leap to independence, where she will delight the Tijuanenses and soon the rest of Mexico with her first solo project, ‘‘Cannella’’.
For this chef’s event, she will serve some uniquely crafted dishes for one evening only at Tahona!

Tahona is launching Tacos Omakase every Thursday, a first of its kind here in San Diego. Each week, Chef Adrian will feature a four course tasting menu paired with mezcal available only in our private tasting room. It is in this intimate setting that your host will walk you through the nuances of each pairing, from the ingredients used to how the mezcal was produced.
Omakase is a form of Japanese dining in which guests leave themselves in the hands of a chef and receive a meal which is seasonal, elegant, artistic and uses the finest ingredients available.
