Christmas in Arizona

[rrehkemper]

Me and the family are going to Arizona for the holidays. Start and end in Phoenix with a trip up to Prescott for christmas and some skiing in the White mountains. Any aficianados in the area? I saw two tequila bars on the map, any others? Can't wait to stock up at Bevmo

Hola Don Ricardo de Hawaii ,
Since the distributor for Don Valente in Arizona is located in Prescott and since when I am not in Guadalajara I also have a home just south of Phoenix and will probably be there some time around the holidays , there is a pretty good chance that you can have a personal Don Valente tasting session as well as some good tequila conversation while enjoying the good stuff. We do not sell to BevMo ( would you buy a Bentley at a Ford dealership ? ) but have plenty of specialty fine wine and spirit stores that carry Don Valente along with a good selection of other tequilas. We will be happy to fix you up with any information that you need.

Sounds like Arizona is a great place to spend the holidays - trading one paradise for another.

Wow! "A personal Don Valente tasting session as well as some good tequila conversation while enjoying the good stuff" would be a dream come true. I would be very honored to attend something like that.

Isn't it amazing what a little post on tequila.net can do? Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming.

Hi There, I live in Flagstaff and would enjoy a visit from you if you are in the area, PM me for my phone # if you think you could visit, we can sample some Vit. "T". We don't have any stores in Flag that have a great selection of Teq. but there are a couple in Tempe and Mesa that if you want to stop in and have a look, one is Top's (480-967-5643) and the other is Sun Devil liquors (480-834-5050) they both have a good selection of Tequila they are only about five miles apart.
Have a Good One....Jim , (azul-agaveman)

Enjoy that personal tasting Don Ricardo. I would also be more than happy to discuss tasting notes with you as well and of course if you ever end up in Central Texas; would follow up with another personal tasting of Don Valente.

Don Valente is a truly exceptional tequila. The entire line is so well made and I am very proud to represent a tequila of such good character here in Texas. If you are ever in the neighborhood, do not hesitate to give me a shout.

And this also applies to anyone in or traveling thru the Waco Texas area. I know its not too far from some users of tequila.net so please contact me if you ever make it by. I would be more than happy to sit down and talk tequila and bring out the DV.

tequila.net is full of fascinating members. I've only been lucky enough to speak to a couple of you on a personal basis but enjoy meeting new people everyday.

hey Don,

Dont forget to pick up some 3 Amigos when you are in Arizona. A very decent blanco and anejo for the price. Only sold in Arizona at this time. Oh and one store in Van Nuys.

And MuchoTE, and Corrido, and Señor del Rio, and Cruz del Sol. Arizona seems to be a hot spot to start Tequila distribution.

Sitting here sipping my Tres Manos Anejo and looking forward to starting our trip tommorrow. Looking forward to picking up some 3 Amigos, El Conde Azul, and others I cant get here. Lots of snow for skiing and lots of tequila for sipping. Got my private tasting with Don Valente set up at "the Jersey Lily" on Prescott's historic whiskey row and hoping to stop in and visit A-gaveman's tequila room in Flagstaff. Should be a bunch of tequila related pics when I get back. Mele Kalikimaka e hauoli Makahiki hou (Merry Christmas and happy New Year) to all.

Aloha, Don Ricardo
