Canada’s first and largest Tequila Tasting will offer the public Mexico’s top tequilas, Mezcal, Mexican beer, and authentic food at The Tequila and More Tasting and Sampling Show,  Metro Toronto Convention Centre, December 3, 2010 from 4-10pm.

Tequila lovers, newbie’s, people who live in abject fear of the drink, and even those who may use a fake id to get in on the drinking action, will have the perfect opportunity to discover that not all tequilas are created the same! Like wine and single-malt scotch, tequila tastes different depending on who makes it, the process used, and the growing environment of the Blue Agave (tequila’s defining ingredient).  These tequilas are meant to be sipped and savoured!

Serving premium bottles from all of the five types of tequila (blanco or plata, joven abocado or oro, resposado, anjeo, and extra anejo) The Tequila and More Tasting and Sampling Show offers an incredible tasting experience whether you’re a knowledgeable connoisseur or a tequila fan wanting to learn more. Some of the premium brands visitors can expect to sample include: La Pinta, Clase Azul, Plata and Ultra, Herradura Resposado Tequila, Frida Kahlo Tequila, Sierra Reposado, Anjeo, Aha Toro, El Mayor, Los Arango and many more.

For those visitors looking to learn more about tequila, expert Ian Chadwick, host of the website In Search of the Blue Agave, will be leading a Tequila 101 Tutored Tasting. It will teach the basics of tequila: where it comes from, how it’s made, the history about North America’s oldest distilled spirit, and of course, explain and sample each type of tequila. Limited spaces are available.

Show attendees will enjoy the full Mexican experience: Live Latin jazz music by the Reposadists, authentic Mexican food, and some of the best creative cocktails and margaritas from the Reposado bar Mixologists. People who purchase tickets online will be entered for a chance to WIN a 7-night all-inclusive trip for two to the Ocean Coral by H10 in the Riviera Maya, Mexico, courtesy of Sunquest.  Hope you get your tickets in advance. I can imagine this being a very popular event.
