Join beverage director and author Jay Schroeder of Chicago’s mezcal-focused restaurant Quiote and its subterranean mezcaleria Todos Santos on a tour of Garfield Park Conservatory’s amazing collection of agaves, including a stunning set to bloom quiote growing straight up through the greenhouse’s 25+ foot glass rooftop.
