Azizam Wines is a natural wine project by Maryam Hariri, based in Baja California and inspired by her Persian heritage. Using dry-farmed, climate-resilient grapes like Mission and Palomino, Maryam employs ancient techniques—like hand destemming and fermentation in traditional vessels—to create expressive, low-intervention wines that honor both land and legacy.

Currently at Tahona:

🍊 Zamboor: A skin-contact rosé made from 85% Mission and 15% Grenache Blanc, sourced from coastal Valle de Grulla and San Vicente. The grapes undergo a 10-day whole-cluster carbonic maceration and spontaneous fermentation in concrete lagars. This vibrant wine bursts with notes of sun-ripened strawberries, orange peel, and wild herbs, balanced by bright acidity and a refreshing texture.

🍓 Zameen: A light red field blend from a 100-year-old wildbush vineyard in Tecate, featuring Palomino, Rosa del Peru, and Misión grapes. The wine undergoes a 12-day whole-cluster semi-carbonic maceration and spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel, resulting in a fresh and expressive profile that reflects its unique terroir.

Both wines exemplify Azizam’s commitment to sustainability, cultural heritage, and the production of soulful, natural wines.

This is General Gorostieta Blanco — tequila done right. It starts in the highlands of Jalisco, where Blue Weber agave is grown slow and steady, and harvested at peak maturity by hand. No rushing, no cutting corners.

From there, master distiller Filipe Camarena cooks the agaves low and slow in brick ovens to bring out those deep agave flavors, then crushed, fermented naturally, and double distilled for a clean, smooth finish with just the right kick.

No additives, no BS. Just good farming, solid craftsmanship, and a tequila that speaks for itself.

🌵 NEW PRIVATE BATCH 🌵

Cumbrita de la Sierra is a rare, uncertified agave spirit from Chihuahua, crafted by Maestro Destilador Dolores González. Produced in Batopilas at the base of Copper Canyon, it reflects the seasonality of the region — where local spring water and ambient yeast shape each batch.

Agave is hand-harvested, pit-roasted with Encino oak, stone-milled, and naturally fermented before being distilled twice on a one-of-a-kind tren still made of copper, steel, and oak.

Our exclusive 36-bottle ensamble (60% Lechuguilla & 40% Dasylirion) is bold and expressive, offering buttery texture, herbaceous and spicy garden vegetables, and a mineral finish. At 49.3% ABV, it’s a true collector’s gem from Northern Mexico.

Lágrimas del Valle, meaning “Tears of the Valley,” is crafted in partnership with the Rosales family at Tequila Cascahuín, a historic distillery in Jalisco’s lowlands. With a focus on terroir, each release comes from a single ranch and vintage, capturing the distinct character of its agave.

El Sabino Blanco highlights the exceptional quality of agaves from Teuchitlán, near the UNESCO-listed Guachimontones pyramids. It offers aromas of fresh mint, lemon tea, and eucalyptus, with a palate of minerality, cooked agave, oregano, and fresh herbs, finished with a buttery texture.

El Sabino Reposado, aged three months in ex-bourbon barrels, balances candied orange peel, cinnamon, and brown butter on the nose with flavors of stone fruits, vanilla, and rich cooked agave, resulting in a smooth, expressive finish.

PRIVATE BATCH 🍐🍐🍐

Maestro Vinatero Elias Garcia Soto and his team craft Alto in Real de Otzumatlan, Michoacan. The coniferous forests and cooler temperatures offer a perfect climate for this regionally abundant wild agave. Elias preserves the tradition of Pulque fermentation and distilling in a Philipino-style still that he learned from his late father. He is now showing his young son the family secrets.

Elias gathers Alto (inaquedens agave) from the forest hills of Michoacan. These large and flavorful agaves typically mature in 7 to 10 years.

Elisas and his team roast their agave hearts in an underground earthen oven with mesquite wood & volcanic rock. The roast typically takes 3 days.

The cooked agave is shredded with a small wood chipper machine. Only a few years ago the family stopped milling by hand with a wooden mallet inside a wooden boat.

Instead of water, this master distiller uses pulque (an ancient fermented agave beverage) to help stimulate the wild yeast during fermentation. The process takes 3 to 7 days depending on the temperature.

The fermented liquid is distilled in a Filipino-style still. The base is copper and ontop of it sits a large neck made of oyamel wood where a wooden spoon hangs inside as it collects and funnels the mezcal. A chain pulley tool is used to lift the neck between sessions. During the second distillation, chopped quince are added to impart depth and flavor.

Master Distiller Elias Garcia Soto combines heads, hearts & tails to arrive at Luneta’s Alto at 52% abv.

Estrellita’s Snacks, a second-generation Salvadoran food company, was founded in San Francisco’s Mission District by Maria del Carmen Flores. Inspired by her childhood selling tostadas in El Salvador, Maria turned her culinary passion into a thriving business offering pupusas, tamales, tostadas, and more.

After joining the La Cocina Incubator in 2005, the family business expanded to farmers’ markets, catering, and retail. Named after Maria’s daughter (who runs the business today) and meaning “little star” in Spanish, Estrellita’s Snacks continues to celebrate Salvadoran flavors while preserving the legacy Maria started decades ago.
