We sit down with Preston Caffrey, co-founder and CEO of Bebemos Tequila, to hear how a move from Santa Cruz to San Diego eventually led to the creation of a homegrown tequila brand. Preston shares his journey from more than two decades in the mortgage business to launching We Drink Tequila and partnering with the Gonzalez family in Jalisco to create Bebemos. We get into how the tequila is made, why they chose a joven blend of blanco, reposado and añejo, and the care that goes into everything from harvesting mature agave to small-batch production. We also talk about Bebemos winning a platinum SIP Award, expanding into local restaurants and retailers, and collaborating with the San Diego community on creations like the Tony Gwynn Jr. Margarita. Plus, Preston shares some of his favorite North County spots, including Valentina, Hamburger Hut, Tanner Prime and The Shanty, along with what Bebemos has planned for the Del Mar Wine & Food Festival.
