Tequila y Mezcal

Just got back from our annual trip to Colorado and it paid off in unexpected ways. I think my collection is complete.

CSB alert:

Had dinner at a nice restaurant in San Antonio on Saturday night. I spied a bottle of Ocho Reposado behind the bar, so I ordered "Tequila Ocho Reposado, neat" from the waitress. Whatever she brought me did not smell or taste anything like tequila. My wife - who really hates tequila and recoils at the smell every time - agreed with me. So I call the waitress over and we have this conversation:

Me: "I don't think this is tequila. Could it be the wrong glass?"

Waitress: "No, it's Herradura Reposado. Do you want me to switch it for Casamigos? Those are the only two we have."

Me: "It doesn't taste like tequila at all. I can see Tequila Ocho from here. The orange bottle."

So she brought me a new glass and of course it tasted like tequila. I guess she either didn't understand that Ocho is a specific brand or didn't hear that part and just brought me whatever. The moral of the story is that either she grabbed the wrong glass off the bar and brought me someone else's...bourbon maybe? Or that whatever Herradura is trying to pass off as reposado doesn't even taste the slightest bit like tequila should.

I am guessing the thieves drove faster than 55 when leaving Flavortown (Flavor Town?  What is the proper spelling?  And is it close to Funkytown?)

I hope those bottles never see the light of day. They did the public a favor

Starting to stock up in case these tariffs actually happen (no CR). At least that’s what I told my wife lol.
