Emeril’s Line, Vine & Dine Fundraiser + Surprise visit by Kenny Chesney and Zac Brown!

Each year Emeril and I put together a special experience to raise money for his foundation – we've done dinner in Cabo, in Hawaii and this year it was fishing and lunch on Emeril's boat!  This afternoon we spent with the 10 people that bought the package, and what a lunch it was!
 
An hour into the boat ride we saw this big gorgeous gunmetal gray 86ft Riva with a few beautiful people on it– I looked closer and noticed it was Kenny Chesney! I screamed at him and he stopped,
backed up, and we had a couple high-fives, a toast, and Emeril handed over to Kenny a big plate of barbecue ribs and a jar of about a half pound of beautiful caviar– can you believe this shit!? We said goodbye and then Kenny showed up at the event later that night at the Marina Club House, and jumped on stage to sing a really soft version of "Eagles Fly".  Vic and I played an acoustic set for over an hour, and Kari joined in for "One Sip", "When The Sun Don't Shine", and "All We Need Is An Island" – it was an unbelievably satisfying and successful event!
 
Afterwards, Kenny hung out and we polished off a couple bottles of Da' kine, what a night!
 
Last night Zac Brown hung out with us all night, but had to leave this morning… Dammit, I really wanted to jam with him as well!
 
What a week I'm having.  Heading to Nashville tomorrow to interview Vince Neil at his ranch and Peter Frampton in his studio where we're going to jam and talk about old times.
 
Thank you everyone for allowing me to have this wonderful life
– Sammy, a.k.a. the luckiest man in the world.

Santo Mezquila is here!

“When we came up with that name — mezquila — the whole road opened up. We know what we’re going to do. It’s the first mezquila. We’ve invented a new product. It comes on like tequila and you smell a little bit of smoke in it, but is toned down to where you get a sweet finish. It’s taking tequila to another level. When you blend the two you get a higher spirit, a brand new taste.”

-Sammy

Sammy Hagar and Adam Levine became friends over their shared love of tequila. One night on a beach in Cabo, Mexico, their creative juices were flowing and they combined mezcal with tequi­la, discovering a taste they could only describe as a revelation. They brought together an expert team to develop the perfect blend, and created, a higher spirit. Afterward, Jack Daniels, Marco Monroy and Infinium Spirits, true experts in the tequila world, each with decades of experience, were reunited with Sammy, the team behind the wildly successful luxury tequila brand, Cabo Wabo.

The Passage Bar Launch Party at El Paseo

“I loved seeing that bar packed with people drinking those wonderful cocktails (some my own personal inventions)! Chef Cortez created some super tasty bar bites and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.  That higher spirit has always been missing from El Paseo we are definitely kicking it up this year. Thank you everyone for your support see you at the Passage – Cheers”

Sammy and the El Paseo team debuted a brand new spirits and cocktail menu including six newly designed flagship cocktails, featuring Old Potrero Rye, St. George Terroir Gin, Elmer T. Lee Bourbon, and more. The Passage bar will also be serving some of Sammy’s own spirit brands, including his Cabo Wabo Tequila, Beach Bar Rum, and Santo Mezquila (the newest hybrid agave spirit, made in partnership with Maroon 5’s Adam Levine).

Executive Chef Henry Cortez also featured his brand new bar menu, full of shareable dishes and small plates like Prosciutto Wrapped Pineapple, Fried Chicken with Pimenton Honey, The Passage Burger, and more!

Gearing Up for a New Season of Rock&Roll Road Trip w/ Don Felder, Styx, & Redhead Carrot Top

Rock & Roll Road Trip Season 2 is coming soon and I was just in Vegas shooting another episode and wow this episode is going to be killer. I visited with Tommy Shaw & J.Y. of Styx, Don Felder, and Carrot Top. Shots were flowing, guitar shredding was unleashed, and cruising the strip in a '62 caddy went down in style!

Watching Don Felder do the solo for his classic hit "Hotel California" with the Eagles – wow what an amazing composition! One of those few solos you can sing too. Ala Stairway to Heaven, Free Bird, Comfortably Numb. Check out the behind-the-scenes clip below…
