Cocktails, Wine, and Beer

Tia Carmen's cocktail program is overseen by Mitchel O. Bushell (formerly of Gwen, Gran Blanco and Accomplice), focusing heavily on local herbs and spices alongside local producers of small and large batched spirits and a broad program of agave spirits. The wine program is overseen by Eduardo Dingler (formerly of Morimoto Restaurant Group) and leans heavily on representation from Mexico's Valle de Guadalupe as well as wines from the West Coast and emerging European producers.
