Welcome to the Tervita Mexican Fiesta!
Have a margarita, cook with your cohorts and enjoy the mouth-watering tastes and smells of your Mexican Fiesta.
Download all the information you’ll need for the class starting with the Agenda with the pre-class prep list (roughly 40 mins prep)
Pre-prep is key as we have an amazing menu but it does depend on how much is done before hand. Heads up if you are making the beef recipe, you need to salt and pepper your meat the night before.
Print out the recipes if you can.
Pick up a bottle of wine we’ve paired with the meal. (15% discount at Northmount Liquor if you tell them Chef Joey sent you) or mix up a Chili Lime Margarita or a Virgin Mojito!
Chef Joey will take us through each item step-by-step. No one will be left behind. We welcome cheers and heckling of Chef Joey, and others!

Wine Selection:
Fresh floral and fruity aroma with notes of green apple, pear and light citrus. In the mouth it surprises its liveliness since its entrance is smooth at the same time that its step is marked by the typical acidity of the wine.
100% Tempranillo. Aromas of red fruits and liquorice very typical of the Tempranillo variety, to this we add the aromas coming from the aging in barrel, soft pastry.
