Sounds like fun. I'm interested to hear how the Baluarte Tequila is. You guys doing a review session or just tasting?

[Rosco]

Yeah, we're taking tasting notes on this one, i actually took the liberty of tasting it already, they sent me two bottles of thier reposado, pretty good, i will participate in the tasting on saturday, i just couldn't wait when i got the bottles, i couldn't resist, you know, curiosity, so i didn't take notes on it, but i will on Saturday,and the Dos Mil is pretty awesome too.

A very big thanks to Raul "rosco" Santillan for hosting this event. It was my first tasting event to be a part of and I found it both educational and fun. Raul is very sharp in his tequila knowledge and presented each brand with all the information you need. A good lesson on how to taste and recognize certain qualities, and off we went trying each brand. I have to admit I got so caught up in learning about each tequila, I forgot to take my tasting notes. Lesson learned for next time...

[Rosco]

Yup, sorry about that i was so nervous and distracted that i overlooked the big stack of tasting note sheets i had sitting there, live and learn. Next time around, in order to make sure the sheets are filled out, i think i might host a private dinner @ my home so we can fill these out efficiently, i'll keep you posted Vida.

well if i ever get out that way, you can count on me getting a crash course from you! so tell me the truth, does El Agave Restaurant get it's tequila from you? Because your collection is awesome, and looks like a wall from their restaurant, i hope to one day have one as big as yours, but anyway thanks for the comps, and hoping this will be the beginnig of bigger and better endeavors, i have a HUGE project that i'm working on right now with the city and CRT, but i'm not going to get my hopes up, until everything is in black in white and signed off, then i will reveal the Master Plan!!!!
