The Camarena family has been making the world’s foremost tequilas in Los Altos de Jalisco since 1937. Today, Felipe Camarena and his sons, Luis Felipe and Alan, are the fourth generation to carry on this heritage. With G4 Tequilas, named in honor of the generations of master distillers that came before them, pay tribute to our family history. Here's a great video showcasing some of that history! 

At G4, making the world’s best tequila drives everything they do. For them, the process is the product. That’s why they grow their own agave, run on solar power, and use pure rainwater and local spring water to make their award-winning tequilas. From their sustainability initiatives to their distillery methods, every step matters. They cut agave, not corners. Maybe that’s why their tequilas have been called the standard by which all others should be judged. It's not understatement that tequila lovers in St. Louis love G4! 

Next up is Chinacos who are brand new to the STL Market! were independent landowners during the 18th and 19th centuries who, out of necessity, became legendary fighters. The Chinaco warriors tirelessly defended Mexico during both the Reform War and the French Intervention in the mid-1800s. They were revered by the people of Mexico, feared by those they faced bravely, and renowned for their heroic feats. Their leader, General Manuel Gonzalez was a fierce fighter, a skillful strategist, and a true leader of the people. The history of Tequilera La Gonzaleña, home of Chinaco Tequila, begins in 1856 when General Gonzalez, acquired lands in the Mexican State of Tamaulipas, in the region of his ancestral family seat. 

Practicing sustainability, Tequilera La Gonzaleña plants over 60,000 agaves annually at the family ranch, El Rosillo. This, along with sourcing from a few other local Tamaulipas farms, guarantees its supply of agaves. An unheard of practice today, the newly planted saplings are from the same mother plants from the same region ensuring unparalleled consistency and quality.  One of the original additive free brands, this tequila is definitely something you want to sample throughout the night!   

The Siembra Alteño Tequila Blanco which we will hope to sample is a remarkable collaboration between Master Distiller Carlos Camarena and David Suro, brought to life by Siembra Spirits. This tequila is a true representation of the Highlands, showcasing traditional methods and the unparalleled quality of estate-grown agave.  Check out this recent review... 

Crafted with passion and precision, this tequila embodies the essence of authentic Mexican tequila-making traditions. Siembra is a curated selection of Agave Spirits. They collaborate with master distillers to create limited edition batches, embodying the dream of David Suro and the unique qualities of the agave fields. We are excited to sample a few of these throughout the evening!  

Last but not least on the line up for the evening is PM Spirits, specifically we will be sampling their Still Strength and Blanco. For those of you not familiar, they are always on the lookout not just for superlative spirits, but also for like-minded people. When they met Jose Luis Gutierrez, they knew right away he was someone special.

Having spent years working both independently and for the Mexican Trade Commission throughout Europe – promoting and establishing reciprocity of the Tequila Denomination of Origin – Jose Luis later started working closely with producers in Jalisco in order to source and provide quality Tequila directly to European brands and bottlers. Each bottling is the product of one single oven, or horno. Distilled from 100% estate grown Blue Weber Agave and bottled at two strengths – 40% abv and 55% abv aka still strength. We're looking forward to trying the Still Strength Blanco! 

Chips and Salsa will also be served for people to snack on during the evening as well!!

Our event partners, Vintegrity and The Wine and Cheese Place will also be on site taking orders for any available bottles to purchase throughout the evening!
