Holly Irwin of Dispatch gets a lesson in Mexico's iconic spirits from Tom Bard of Zapoteca in Portland, which has "the largest selection of tequilas and mezcals of any restaurant in the state of Maine." Bard and "his business partner Sergio Ramos ... have even started the process of getting their own mezcal from Mexico to distribute in Maine and New Hampshire ... the brand name Teca has already been patented."
