Is $35 the typical price you are seeing for tastings in SoCal? With so many new members in the LA area, I am debating whether or not to start some tastings out there (especailly since my brother lives out there) and could use some info on the prices of what others are currently charging.

Honestly can't say, everything I have ever gone too has been by invite with no charge. I think tvJefe has done a few local tastings that he might be able to share pricing on. I do know that it is becoming more popular. Just today a friend called me to tell me that he was in S.D over the weekend and he was having dinner at a Mexican resturant and it just so happen that they were having a lecture / tasting....he knew enough about tequila through me, that he went in and particapated in the tasting and enjoyed it very much.
If you decide to do something here, let me know and maybe I can get my friend with the store to call his reps for some product.

I'm comped at El Carmen tastings so I don't remember how much they charge. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $25-40 I think. It's a very diverse crowd - ranging from those seriously interested about tequila, to guys just there for "all-you-can-drink".

The cheaper the tastings, the more likely you are to get people less interested in tequila and more interested in getting drunk.

By the way, the next El Carmen tasting is on June 7th.

I have been to the last two at El Carmen. They were both $25 per person and included an El Carmen tshirt.

Maybe I will try to make the next El Carmen Tasting to get an idea of what I would be getting myself into. Can you keep me posted on the details?

TVJefe is the man for that - I think he gets frequent sipper discounts, but when I get a flyer I will post the information here.

Boo..

I'm too close to the Orange Curtain to be even at a tasting and then driving across the basin to get home. .08 is .08 as they say.

I hear you about the DUI stuff. I know two people who have recieved DUI's in the past month alone. One guy rear ended a car one block from his home and now his life is a mess. I am fortunate enough to be able to have a few drinks (not drunk) at the golf club and drive an electric cart home on the cart path....... just not worth drinking and driving.
That's were the Vegas event comes in handy......all you have to do is make sure you can make it to the elevator and remember your room number
