Party for a Good Cause
Dear Xico Friend,
We all know that Mexico was rocked by multiple earthquakes in recent weeks, and countless Mexicans were left without homes.
At Xico, we have a special connection to Oaxaca through Mezcal, and are honored to bring tastes of that perfectly smoky spirit to Portland.
Now we seek to help Oaxacans get clean water, food, and supplies in the aftermath of the earthquake and we hope you’ll chip in, and come to our party!
