BETHESDA, MD — It's not every day you see an A-list celebrity talk business in your neighborhood. But that's exactly what happened in Bethesda last week.
On Friday, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson made a surprise appearance at Total Wine & More's headquarters to talk with spirit buyers about the upcoming launch of his tequila line.
Had a special surprise visit from @TheRock today to talk with our spirit buyers about his upcoming #TeremanaTequila launch.

Teremana Tequila is described as a small batch, hand-crafted tequila from the Teremana blue agave in Jalisco, Mexico. This product, according to Johnson, has been years in the making, but the name was only revealed late last year.
