Overview

From August 2 to August 6, 2008, I was invited to join small batch distiller, David Suro of tequila Siembra Azul, and a host of other educators and key people studying the cultural, anthropological, historical, and ecological aspects of the tequila industry in the beautiful Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. We would concentrate on touring distilleries specifically in Arandas and Atotonilco. David's plan was to gather these brilliant minds together in one place and videotape a round table discussion of the issues currently affecting the Los Altos region. Among the participants was Doctor of Anthropolgy, Jose de Jesus Hernandez Lopez (Pepe to his friends) from the Centro Universitario de Los Altos. He would be, and still is, my guide for this investigation.
