San Diego + mezcal = tropical paradise

March 16, 2018 | Max Garrone

Man, San Diego is a real trip. Warm weather, curvy coastline, ravines running through the middle of town. Oh and amazing people who love mezcal. Suffice to say that our inaugural Mexico in a Bottle San Diego was a slamming success. We have to thank everyone involved but especially Bread & Salt for such an amazing location. There’s an patio open to the sky as well as nooks and crannies filled with art. Here’s a photo gallery for your delectation. Special thanks to JR/davemillersmexico.com for taking the photos!

Ulises and Sandra made the trip up from Oaxaca where they manage, In Situ, one of the better mezcalerias in town.

We have slowly been introducing Mexican craft beers into Mexico in a Bottle. Look out for more to come like Tres Fuegos.

Bread and Salt’s patio was just one of many great tasting spots.
