Dude, that is not anywhere close to premium Tequila. I grew up in Jalisco, Mexico and it’s my liquor of choice. The next time you’re in the Southern California doing a show or an event, we should hook up and do an episode together. I’ll line up some real tequila for us to review.

Together, you and I, we can change the Tequila world.

awesome tequila show… no herradura reposado though which is my favorite right now and would have been fun seeing what you thought of it. Tequila really does get a bad rap and it is cool to see you trying to fight those silly salt lick lime shot patterns (i can’t believe people do that with premium tequila).

qotd: that I spin records and have for like 13 years

Nice! Ive thought about tossing some coin on some high end tequlia and youve pointed me in the right direction. Always looking to expand my pal! QOTD: Probably my bizzare sense of humor. I work in a kitchen in the mornings prepping food items for the night crew when no one else is there, so Im not in contact with a lot of people. The only people who work there who know my sense of humor is the other cook who works mornings with me, the restaurant manager, and the head chef. Most of the front of the house doesnt know how odd I can be, mostly cause Im not there when the restaurant is open

I’ve been watching the Thunder show for almost 4 months now, going back and catching up with old episodes, but this will be my first time posting. A lurker no more! As much as I love WLTV, I get a huge kick out of the non-wine episodes. In this episode, like the Scotch episode, it was fun seeing Gary a bit out of his element, but still finding ways to educate.

Like most people, I didn’t have much of a positive impression of tequila except as something to shoot, or something to put in a margarita. Until a couple of months ago, I went to a mexican restaurant in SF that served tequila neat. I had the Tres Generacciones Reposado and that changed my view on tequila forever. It was smooth and rich, and made me think I was drinking a mid-range whiskey, or even scotch. Have not had a chance to try an Anejo, but expect I will find myself similarly charmed. Thanks Gary for bringing the thunder to a vastly… a VASTLY… under-appreciated spirit.
