BEST OVERALL BLANCO: CIERTO PRIVATE COLLECTION BLANCO
In 2017, venture capitalist and tequila connoisseur Todd Chaffee decided he wanted to make the world’s finest tequila. Teaming up with master distillers Enrique Fonseca and his nephew, Sergio Mendoza, fourth- and fifth-generation agaveros (agave farmers), he succeeded.
