Just add a straw and you're ready for a trip down HWY-1.

Must be YUMMY.

A friends wife ordered a shot after dinner in Vegas recently and he got real sticker shock when the bill came. Shot was $250.

I love how someone is willing to pay $20 plus bucks for a plata tequila that is probably no better than el Jimador for $8 at Calimax

How dare you make fun of my disability!
Sorry, I had to go there
Look, honestly, I can't stand plata as a sipping tequila, and if I did, I still would bet there are much better silver tequilas that would compete
and win. Taxes, shipping etc,
Now, that being said I can easily go to the store and buy mexican tequila in Mexico. If you are land locked in the USA, then drink yourself silly
with this stuff until you can buy the real stuff at a reasonable price

My ref. to import was obviously lost on you. I would bring it down south much like many bring wine south with them. Most premium tequilas are not
widely available sob.
Because u don't like blanco the rest of us are idiots?

I really like Arenitas Gold which I used to be able to buy in Algodones and it was very reasonable. Now Saul has it in Mulege and he is usually sold
out right away. It sells for 90 pesos a litre and we have done lots of blind taste tests and it sits right up there with the expensive stuff. It is
bottled by Casa Don Roberto in Tequila and makes a really great margarita.
The best test, in my mind, is how it comes across when one has not seen the bottle beforehand. I have a good friend who is a real tequila snob and he
thought I was putting him on with this brand and still did not believe me until he went to Saul's in Mulege and bought a sealed bottle.

Hard to explain, I suppose. Harder for me to understand too, since I don't care for Tequila outside a Margarita.

No, I understand exactly what you meant. And, I never said that anyone was and Idiot. I do like plata, for margaritas, but most folks sip anejo or
resposado.
But, the truth of the matter is, if you have access to Tequila in Mexico, you can get great tequilas for far less. Reason, Financial. NO TAXES, NO
SHIPPING COSTS.
Wine is different. Great wines in Mexico, can be found, but not if you are into Italian or French or even Napa wines. If you do find them, you will
pay a huge premium for the importation.
It seems like a pretty simple concept, but it is lost on some folks, I guess

The Real Stuff, is a reference to buying Mexican made Tequila in Mexico. If you read up on this product, it is made by a gal in San Diego, who has a
Papa in Jalisco.
My point is simple, you can get really great Tequila's in Mexico for far less pesos.
Again, if you are land locked in the USA, I agree, buy it from Costco and enjoy it. But if you find the NOM code on the bottle, you can find out who
actually makes the tequila. You may find the Mfg makes the same tequila in a different bottle with a different name.
