Two weeks ago my best friend and I were at a nice restaurant in LA. I decided to try the priciest tequila they had - Don Julio 1942, about $29 for a glass. It didn't even taste as good as some less expensive ones like Cabo Wabo or regular Don Julio :/
Lesson learned: more expensive doesn't always mean tastier
Next time you're driving through Truckee, try a place downtown called Casa Baeza. Its been a while since I've been there but they have good food and a great bar with generous pours. You want to try the Chamucos. I'm having one neat right now :)
I'll definitely keep that in mind, thank you :D the restaurant in LA that I take my bestie to every year is called Water Grill. They have a good scotch selection as well, but I didn't see it until we were closer to leaving because it was attached to the dessert menu.
I got thrown off tequila in college because the only thing anyone ever had to do shots was Jose Cuervo and by the time I left just the smell of that stuff made me gag. A friend of mine I later met was into tequila and since then we've been finding really good moderate to high-priced stuff to try. I think the Corzo is around $40 a bottle. AndrewFinlayson is right about the Chamucos. If you want to go lower in price I find Epsilon is good and it can be found in the $20s. The best part is trying them all to find your favorite. ;)
Lol yea, I don't know what they're paying Underwater Basket Weavers these days, but I'm positive that you're make more than they are......I'm also sure you're spending more than they are on beer...lmao! :)
When I tell people my degree was in History they ask if I ever considered going into teaching. Mostly I tell them I don't have the patience to work with students, but every-once-in-a-while I'll use the bad influence excuse. Actually I don't get asked much anymore. ;D
