It seems that the Tequila
Fancy web site is no longer available. Too bad, because it was a
good reference point with good reviews of many readily available
tequilas as well as other information. Come to think of it, I
have not seen a post from Christopher Palmer in quite some time.
Chris, are you out there? We miss your
site!
Hey - I'm still here.
Thanks for the kind words. I took the site down because
without being able to make regular updates it was looking a bit long
in the tooth in some areas. The plan is to remove all references
to dates and prices, and then I will put it back up on the web.
I just got back from Santa Fe an hour ago...I didn't get to do
most of the things I wanted to (like go visit some folks on this list
who know who they are) but it wasn't "my" trip. I did
get to enjoy a rather overpriced margarita at Maria's however :)

ps - PV Reposado has been quite variable in our experience,
ranging from "good enough" to spicy kerosene.

If Bacardi sold the nice anejo that is all over Mexico, and cheap there, I would be very happy. But tequila and rum? I don't see it yet. Maybe the last ...

Since it is bottled by Leveque, you can be assured it is mixto. Besides, 100% Agave cannot be sold and shipped in bulk....
Shouldn't they be up for some bad trouble for this? And why does Leveque = mixto? Karl (somewhat bummed by the news) ... ...

Chris, frankly I would try San Jose Del Cabo up near the airport, unless you are in the market for a lot of cheap t shirts. San Jose is a bit more of a real...
