Sake Yeast in Tequila?! That’s right — today on Tasting Tequila with Brad, I’m reviewing Tequila Rimari Reposado, an additive-free tequila made with sake yeast fermentation, roasted in traditional stone ovens, and crafted using the Mozart Method under master distiller Sergio Cruz at NOM 1414 in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. This is where innovation meets tradition — and the results might surprise you.

Tequila Rimari was founded by Dheeraj Naidu and Vrunda Parekh, who set out to create an honest, responsibly made tequila that stands apart. Estate-grown agave, copper-still distillation, American oak aging, and zero additives — all blended into a reposado that balances warm vanilla, caramel, and floral agave brightness.

In this video, I break down the nose, palate, and finish of Rimari Reposado, talk about sake yeast in tequila, and share why Sergio Cruz’s meticulous approach makes Rimari one of the most interesting new brands out of Jalisco.

Stay tuned — my full interview with Rimari founders Dheeraj and Vrunda drops soon!

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
