Folks who know me at all know I love to cook, and celebrate fine wines. I've also come to relish tequila, but also have a soft spot for a (very) good bourbon, and a rye mixed drink named the Manhattan. Here in MX, I've met several who are Tequila aficionados , and a neighbor down the street - takes his interest to a whole new level - he buys just distilled blanco tequila, gets a barrel [both easy and amazingly complex at the same time]... and ages his own tequila. Last spring he & his wife invited us over; we had a wonderful dinner, and several Margaritas/shots of different tequilas... A few weeks later, he show up at my door with a 20 liter barrel filled with blanco -- Happy Birthday.
Now, almost 9 months later, I have a delightful Reposado tequila, and put 5 liters into a smaller barrel to age another 3 years [Extra Anejo!]. So I've just started my 2nd generation of Ken's tequila -- and it's been a blast. My "home" made margaritas [literally!] are quite excellent, too.

mi Mexico... if a single photo could capture the magical beauty of a country, it might be this one. So many know the famous beach resorts, the water, the parties, the TEQUILA!!! But so much of Mexico is ... serenely beautiful. This scene resembles a Colorado 'park'... mountains, beautiful grassland, water... and small towns scattered throughout. The coastal tourist wonderland of Puerto Vallarta is 60 miles beyond the most distant peak... and the nearest town, Mascota, IS a Puebla Mágicos... a designated "magical" city for unique charasteristics - architecture, art, historical significance, regional beauty... It's a long drive here... but here you discover a wonderful part of Mexico typically bypassed by 'hurried' tourists.
