Casa Obsidiana is a new tequila brand created by two families with deep connections to agave and wine making who have been friends for more than twenty years. Jorge and Roberto Beckmann Gonzalez’s family has been making tequila for eight generations—more than 260 years. Jean-Charles Boisset and his family have been making wine in France and California for decades and are one of the largest wine groups in France. Their desire to create a unique tequila together, along with Francisco Quijana, the Master Tequilero, is Casa Obsidiana’s origin story, and its differentiated by both the spirit—made from 100% Blue Weber agave from the Beckman Gonzalez’s estates, Quintana’s spirit, and aging for four months in French Oak barrels that formerly aged the Boissot family’s Napa Valley Chardonnay. Further elevating the brand is its unique, hand made and unusual ceramic bottles. This new, premium Reposado tequila, made in Jalisco, Mexico opens with caramel notes but isn’t too sweet and moves to a pleasant peppery finish. The Reposado is our favorite, but the Blanco and Añejo are both excellent as well.

Adam Abdalla, a friend of CH, loves wrestling, and his latest book project documents a “death match” wrestling show at Tokyo’s Korakuen Hall in October 2023, the first show created by an American independent wrestling company (Game Changer Wrestling). It featured 20 wrestlers and referees from the US and Mexico. Adam felt there wasn’t enough storytelling in previous efforts, so he recruited his photographer friend Nick Karp to document the event. This limited-edition book of 1,000 copies features 200 pages with images both behind-the-scenes as well as in the ring, and is being shown during NY Art week (28 April – 5 May 2024). The photographs capture, in graphic detail and with a sense of primal and theatrical expression, this subculture of wrestling. Now available for pre-orders.
