This was a fun event. Let me see if I can remember who-all was there. (Although I don't remember too much about the evening)

4 Copas
Don Eduardo
Herradura
El Jimador
Partida
Tezon
Cuervo
Don Fulano
Casa Noble
Cazadores
Tonala
METL

I'm sure I am missing one or 2, but after a few rounds my memory is hazy.

The 4 Copas guys are so great. I am always impressed with their presentation, their product knowledge, and (of course) their product.

Cuervo was tasting their Platino as well as their Tradicional Reposado. The Platino was nice.

Everyone seemed to be pushing their repos. Is there a repo boom that I am not aware of? For me, repo is the hardest one to get right. You have to ride that thin line between the blanco and anejo. I guess it makes for a good margarita.

Anyway, a good time was had by all. And I still hate Mezcal.

I didn't realize that the companies were going to be there. Wish I would have realized that before hand. I would have tried to make it out. Oh well, next time I guess.
