In answer to your question: Reposad Tequila Corralejo. Very smooth. Prices vary. Available in 500 ml; 750 ml; and 1000 ml. In BOLA I paid $40
American for 500 ml. In San Felipe I paid $280 pesos for 1000 ml. One place wanted $320 pesos, but sold it to me for $280 when I said I would go
around the corner to the other place and pay the lower price.
I think $40 American was way too much, but didn't know it at the time as it was my first exposure to this brand. I also think that $280 is a bargain
for a liter, this is the smoothest tastiest tequila I've tried to date. I'm sure there are others out there that are better, so I'll keep
searching.....
If you are going to Keri's booksigning, there will be a tequila tasting there. To participate, just bring a bottle and we do an informal tasting.
Salute.

I supposed I shouldn't bother to bring any more of that Oaxaca moonshine... Voted the worst at the tequila contest 2003!
My amigo from Oaxaca gave it to me (in a Gatorade bottle) as a gift 'from home'. I thought it would be a novel addition to GeoRock's (post book
signing) event... It was novel, but pretty 'un-smooth'. http://davidksbaja.com/503 (book signing, tequila tasting, and more from May'03, in Baja).
cool pictures

as usual. Thanks David!

David,
I'm glad you brought the homemade stuff. It was a novel treat, even if it wasn't smooth. If all the tequilas we have are smooth, how would we know
that if we don't have one un-smooth one?
At the first tequila tasting, at the BBBB3, a $2 bottle was in the top running and liked the best by a few folks. Ya never know!

You are very welcome...
Those photos are in my web site. However, there is a lot in my 4 year old web site!
People and places are the main focus. I try and get a photo of all the Baja Nomads (Amigos) that I meet. Somehow, I think it helps in the exchange
between us... You can see that there is a 'real' person behind the typed words. That you are not alone or weird in having Baja fever. That's the
purpose of my Viva Baja events, to bring together Baja people who have the need to share their experiences via writing books or Internet travel
articles. It's all in my web site, enjoy... Hope to meet you someday, as well!

Thanks for the info. I have tried a few and I will add this one to my list. I have found out that the cost vary from store to store. I used to buy a
bottle in San Igancio at the corner market but they have gotten real expensive. We would get a medium sized bottle of tequila and would stop at the
turnoff to Punta Chivato. We would always "salude" to the road Gods for watching over us on our way down. We always pour a shot for mother earth
(after all she grows the agave!!) Makes my mouth water just to think about it all!!! Summer is coming..Baja here I come!!! Baja Red
