Heya folks! I’m leaving Sunday morning for the South Nowhere, Texas, visiting INS border patrol stations up and down the Rio Grande. This will give me the opportunity to scoot across the river and hit some Mexican border towns. I looove tequila, but don’t quite know what brands to look for outside of a DC package store. I’m looking to bring back a bottle or two of something that I would have a hard time finding out here, and would not be able to afford it if I did. What do the tequila snobs reach for when the reach for a lemon? And will I ever get this song out of my head?
There are many good quality Tequila’s in Mexico, the general rule is stay away from the Golds and stick with the Platinums. All the really good ones are dated and are NOT aged.
Make sure you only bring back the “personal consumption” amount.
My Aunt Clara thought the liquor prices were too good to pass up in Baja California, so she stocked up. Warned about the personal consumption limit, she stashed bottles in the nooks and crannies of her and Uncle John’s boat (on a trailer).
When they hit the border, the Federalis had been given advanced warning of their arrival, and they searched the truck and boat and confiscated all the liquor.
