What does mezcal mean to you?
This burning question guides Ivan Vasquez’s life as the founder of L.A.’s most extensive, Oaxacan-owned mezcal collection, found spread across the walls of his Madre restaurants in Palms, Torrance, West Hollywood, and Santa Clarita.
Each location has more than 450 mezcals and other agave distillates, including extremely rare agaves that take 40 years to reach maturity and fetch $1,720 a bottle.
