    Attended a Tequila Tasting last night...

    It was held at the El Carmen Bar in L.A. Some of the major importers that attended were Clase Azul, Corralejo, Sino, Corrido, Casa Noble and Peligroso; there were more, but after sampling the ones mentioned I was too drunk to continue. Most offered a Blanco, Reposado and Añejo. There were servers walking around with appetizers to keep people standing. One of my favorite tequilas was the Casa Noble Añejo. It's aged for 2 years in French white oak barrels; it's the only tequila I've ever tasted that has a deep chocolate undertone to it.

    The El Carmen's campy Lucha Libre decor is a must for wrestling fans; great ambiance.















    You know it's a cool place when you see Amy Winehouse tending bar and a g-damn cobra in a bottle.

    Looks like it was a very cool venue for a tequila tasting and it sounds like it was a good time! Did you determine your favorite...?
    sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

      They were all terrific, but if I had to pick a favorite, I'd go with Corrido's Extra Añejo.

              If you haven't found the one by now...you just don't dig tequila, period...

              All mezcals are not created equal...some are quite awful...but some...like you said...are delicious...

                Almost all tequilas come from the state of Jalisco...while most mezcals come from the state of Oaxaca...

                  I've never tried Mezcal before. A friend of mine said it was kinda like Mexican Moonshine. Don't know how accurate that is.

                    He was probably drinking Monte Alban.
                    My favorite is Ilegal Mezcal.
