Contest: Win a Fortuna Night at your home, collectibles and passports from Fortuna Mezcal

Posted by Alexandra Grigorescu / February 22, 2013

Fortuna MezcalMezcal is becoming something of a buzz word in most bars; made by distilling fermented mash from agave, the quality lies in the purity of its ingredients and the craftsmanship involved in its production. Enter Fortuna Mezcal, makes of artisanal mezcal using 100% pure agave, and who give back $1 from every bottle sold to the community of San Dionisio in Oaxaca, where it's produced. The project is a collaboration between Walter Meyenberg, Michael Martin, and Ignacio Martínez, the maestro Mezcalero of San Dioniso.

Fortuna Mezcal is holding its global launch in Toronto with Fortuna Week (February 25-March 3)--an epic week of Toronto venue-hopping that'll take you from Weslodge Saloon, to Spoke Club, to an appropriate finale at La Carnita. The founders will be on hand to demonstrate the Fortuna ritual--let's just say it involves oranges, chili powder, and roasted agave worms.

Most of these events are open to the public, and most importantly free (although some are private, and all are subject to the capacity of the venues). While you're partaking of the festivities, be sure to tweet to @fortunamezcal, and use the hashtag #fortunaweek.

Now, on to the contest.

I've never understood why anyone bothers to post after the 1st 3 correct answers. You all know those people were right and will win; why waste your time? Reading comprehension at its finest. Clearly "tiffy" loses big time here.

P.S. How come you guys do contests by the first to respond? that favours only the narrow band of people who happen to be on the page at that time. Why not draw a name?

I like that idea. Then, every person who posted (especially after my last post) wouldn't be doing so in vain.

Yeah, a very annoying aspect of BlogTo. I guess they want people to refresh the pages 1000 times a day to see if there is a new contest?

I don't agree with that method of contests... Don't really see it done that way anywhere else either.

Hey...I've heard great things about this company, maybe Fortuna will take this golden P.R. opportunity to make (sweet, delicious, Mexican) lemonade out of the lemons BlogTO have accidentally produced.

I couldn't think of any better way to right this blunder than to have everyone on this list win some sort of fun/token mini-prize to make all good again and possibly win a few new converts in the process.
