EDITORIAL
Chantal Martineau, a Montreal native now based in New York's Hudson
Valley, has joined W&S as our spirits columnist with this issue. Martineau is
the author of How the Gringos Stole Tequila and co-author of Finding Mezcal.
She enjoys roaming the woods, standing on her head and throwing pots (on
a wheel, not in rage). She lives in a small village with her partner and two
daughters.
