December 21, 2007 7 Leguas Blanco NOM 1120 Tasted on 5/7/07 at 5:00pm. I tried this tequila, which cost me $9, at Zocalo and tasted it in a snifter. With a clear color, this tequila has intense aromas of floral, earth, and spice. Other aromas include moderate fruit with mild smoke. The tequila has a thin mouth feel and on the first sip is sweet with a hint of bitterness. Intense flavors of earth and agave are followed by moderate notes of fruit and floral. With a long duration of flavor, tastes of mild spice, smoke, and wood bring this tequila to a numbing finish. 7 Leguas Blanco has received the rating of 93 points out of 100.

 October 25, 2007 Tezon Anejo NOM 1111 Tasted on 4/19/07 at 9:45pm. I tried this tequila at El Patron Bar and Grill in Sacramento, CA and tasted it in a martini glass. While this bottle has a unique design, the tequilas quality versus price is the lowest out of any tequila I have rated. With a yellow golden color, this tequila has intense aromas of floral and earth. Other aromas include mild fruit and smoke. Due to the use of a martini glass (El Patron?s normal tequila glass) it was extremely hard to get any aroma from the tequila. The tequila has a oily mouth feel and on the first sip is sweet with moderate to mild bitterness. Tezon Anejo has intense aromas of earth followed by moderate to intense notes of chemicals, floral, and wood. With a medium to long duration of flavor, tastes of moderate agave and mild fruit and spice bring this tequila to a numbing finish. Tezon Anejo has received the rating of 84 points out of 100.

 October 25, 2007 Tezon Reposado NOM 1111 Tasted 2/19/07. Tezon Reposado is a pale yellow color and, personally, I did not think the tequila had a lot of taste to it. Aromas consist of moderate floral and fruit followed by mild earth scents. The first sip of the tequila is bitter and has a low amount of sweetness. The types of flavors Tezon Reposado has include moderate floral and earth. On the mild side, there is fruity, agave, and caramel hints of flavors. Unfortunately, the tequila finished with a short duration of flavor and hot, tingly alcohol intensity. I awarded Tezon Reposado the rating of C+ overall.

 October 21, 2007 I will start this off by stating that La Pinata is one of our sponsors so it is up to you to decide if you think my opinion is bias. I think I would rate it the same either way. With that being said, this place is amazing. There is tequila at almost every turn. Their food is the best I have ever had. If you ever go, make sure you try the taquitos. With an intire tequila menu book, their numerous flights and are showcased in the best manner I have ever encountered. The book impressed me right away. The margaritas are to die for (and I do not even typically like margaritas. Prices are very reasonable and all tequilas are served in Riedel glasses. All four of the tequila bars continually have tasting events so the staff is very knowledgeable. I cannot say enough about this place. You got to see it for yourself.
