Les presentamos a Doña María, esposa de Eleuterio desde hace cuarenta y cinco años y la razón por la que el palenque funciona como funciona desde que cualquiera tiene memoria.

Criaron cinco hijos. Tres viven en Estados Unidos. En la casa se habla más que nada zapoteco, y la cocina es su propio idioma, uno que ella transmite como se lo dieron a ella. El tejate, la masa, el fuego, todo aprendido al lado de quien ya sabía.

Sigue cocinando para todos los que trabajan en el palenque. Cuando vamos, también nos da de comer. Nada de lo que hacemos sería igual sin ella.

Meet Doña María, Eleuterio's wife of forty-five years and the reason the palenque has run the way it has for as long as anyone can remember.

They raised five children together. Three of them live in the United States now. In the house they mostly speak Zapoteco, and the cooking is its own language, one she passes down the way it was given to her. The tejate, the masa, the fire, all of it learned by standing next to someone who already knew.

She still cooks for everyone who works the palenque. When we visit, she feeds us too. Nothing we make would exist the way it does without her.

When he's not working with maguey, Gervasio Martínez is running the nieve cart through the streets of Oaxaca. Kids, abuelos, everybody walks away happy. Two crowns, one güey.

Some pair wine with cheese. We pair mezcal with old classics.

How does Eleuterio like his mezcal? Sometimes over sweet nieve. A flavor explosion right there in the copita.

Even El Solitario keeping good company here and there.

The final's over. Spain is holding the cup.

El Tri, you left everything on the field. For a few weeks the whole country moved as one, one flag, one heartbeat, one shout every time you touched the ball.

México didn't win the World Cup. México won everyone's heart.

Next time, the trophy. Vamos!

Made slow in Oaxaca, poured fast wherever you are.

Every Mezcal Güey label starts as agave. The same maguey we cut for our mezcal. Nothing goes to waste, rright down to the leaves we trim in the field.

Fibers soaked, milled, pressed, dried. Then comes color, four hand pressed layers of it. Then cut. Close to a week, by hand, one sheet at a time.

This is Erick. Maestro papelero. The reason no two of our labels are the same.

They didn't lose us.

For a month, this team turned Mexi Mezcal Bar & Restaurant into one long table, where strangers became family over a game and a drink. Last night it ended the way it hurts most, chasing a goal that never came, playing till the final second.

But nobody in here is thinking about the score. We're thinking about the run. The nights we sang, the ones we screamed, the hugs with people whose names we still don't know.

For a month it was libertad, amistad y fútbol. Tonight we go back to the mezcal. Same table, same familia. Gracias, muchachos. You brought us together, and you fought to the whistle.

Libertad, Amistad y Mezcal, and a whole lot of pride!

And never looking back...

Have you ever seen an agave flower? It only happens once. A maguey blooms at the very end of its life, and that's when it's most beautiful. Most people would let it go. Eleuterio cuts the quiote, saves the seed, and plants it again. Tepeztate takes decades to come back.

He does it anyway.
