A few nights ago Perry Farrell hosted me and a few of other bloggers and social media influencers to experience a French-food tasting paired with Maestro Dobel Tequila cocktails at Bagatelle Los Angeles.
An avid Tequila fan, Perry also happens to be the spokesperson for this brand, that gives him a "cheery buzz."
Our evening was filled with lively conversations, and a delicious four-course dinner created by Chef Robert Liberato, that was paired with four different tequila cocktails using the Silver, Diamanté, Reposado and Anejo expressions.
