Event LOVE: Casa Sauza Tequila Tasting!
I went to an awesome tequila tasting event this past Tuesday, and had so much fun, even though I woke up with the MOTHER of all hangovers the next day! To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Sauza Tequila treated us to a festive evening of authentic Mexican music, delicious tequila-infused foods, and a guided tasting of Casa Sauza Tequilas led by industry expert, Mike McLean.This is when my trip to Tequila heaven began…
This is when all the fun began…
The Mariachi band was great!
sipped on a few (A LOT) more of these… so good.
Meant to snack on some of these, but the Tequila had me!
Always a pleasure seeing Brittany 🙂
Then it was time for the Tequila Tasting…
The Sauza Gold, and the Tres Generaciones Plata were my favorites!
Dan and Meg were there!
Came home with a bottle of Hornitos Reposado, that I’m afraid to even look at after that hangover, but I’ll get over it, can’t deny some good tequila!
Thank you so much to the Praxis team for inviting me, I always have an awesome time with you all!

Hailing from a long line of reputable musicians, Miles’ grandfather Headly Jones Sr. from Jamaica started Studio and was arguably the first to invent the electric guitar. His father Headly Jones Jr aka Deadly Headly was a DJ on CFNY and an early Toronto Club DJ pioneer. Miles went on to create a unique sound that honors the true origins of hip-hop and collaborate with A-list industry including Percee P, Detroit-based producer Black Milk, and most recently, Grammy award-winning producer Boi 1da. Miles has been the recipient of distinguished awards from the Billboard World Song Contest for “Hip Hop Song of the Year” (2010) and the Independent Music Awards for “Hip Hop Song of the Year” (2009) and “Hip Hop Artist of the Year” (2007). His music has been featured on major networks and hit television programs including CBS’ CSI: Las Vegas and the 2010 Winter Olympics. Most recently, Miles’ Boi 1da-produced single “Never Wrong” was nominated as a finalist for the International Songwriting Competition.“Those looking for the new names in hip-hop should perk up their ears the direction of rising Toronto rapper/producer Miles Jones, who offers up a mix of R&B, electro, reggae, and pop influences on his polished sophomore album, ‘Runaway Jones’. – AOL Spinner
