On Wednesday, May 8th, 7:00 p.m., Copper Canyon in the Blue Bay Inn, 51 First Avenue, Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, will host a special tequila dinner with Master Distiller Guillermo Erickson Sauza of Fortaleza.
Tequila Fortaleza (known as “Los Abuelos” in Mexico) is a legendary tequila among aficionados. It is still made the old fashioned way it was four generations ago. It has a flavor so deliciously distinctive, imbibers remember and recognize it for months and years to come.
Fortaleza founder and distiller Guillermo Erickson Sauza is a fifth-generation descendant of the pioneering Sauza family. In the 1990s, he began producing a tequila as it was made by his great-great grandfather, Don Cenobio Sauza in the 1860s. Guillermo is charming, entertaining, and a bit larger than life. Not only can he speak about any and all details of the production of his tequila, his life story is tequila history itself. This is an evening you won’t want to miss.
