520    "Tequila is predicted to soon become the most popular 
       spirit in the United States, and yet few people know much 
       about tequila's long, layered history, the quickly 
       evolving industry, and what goes into the tequila 
       designation. A Field Guide to Tequila is the ultimate 
       guide to the world of tequila, for margarita lovers to 100
       percent agave sippers and everyone in between. Written in 
       easy-to-digest sections, underscored by photographs, 
       illustrations, and charts, readers will discover 
       everything there is to know about tequila: from the 
       precolonial vino de mezcal to the establishment of 
       tequila's denomination of origin (the largest in the 
       world!), from blue agave to blancos and anejos, from 
       expert guides on how to properly select and taste tequila 
       to recipes for the perfect paloma or sunrise. The book 
       features profiles on all the must-know producers, from 
       industry giants like Patron and José Cuervo to innovators 
       like G4 and Cascahuín. Informative essays shine light on 
       hot topics that will bring readers' expertise to new 
       levels, including the terroir of tequila and why so many 
       celebrities are starting tequila brands. A Field Guide to 
       Tequila dismantles tequila's old reputation as a party 
       drink and reveals the truly sophisticated nature of this 
       hallowed spirit that dates back more than two hundred 
       years"--|cProvided by publisher.
