Scottsdale, AZ (TEQUILA.net) May 19, 2008 – CRUZ del Sol Tequila (CRUZ Tequila) recently made history by becoming the first premium tequila company in Arizona to accept prestigious industry awards – from both the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the Agave Spirits Challenge.

“On behalf of the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, I want to thank the CRUZ Tequila family for entering this year's program” remarks Carol Seibert, Managing Director for the competition. “There were more than 800 spirits from 63 countries making this the largest competition in America, and we are pleased to add Cruz Reposado to our list of 2008 winners.”

Representing the Agave Spirits Challenge, Darin Jones Owner of Tequila.net states: “Judges from three countries reviewed more than 80 spirits of Mexico during the inaugural Agave Spirits Challenge in Cancun, Mexico this spring. Our goal was to reward not only those who have proven track records, but also new spirits and brands who display great potential. That is why we were pleased to recognize the CRUZ Tequila family with an award for their new premium spirit.”
