We’re back at the SFT Tequila Bar in Sayulita, Mexico with another question. What type of tequila goes good with food? Mark Alberto Holt and Gabbi Villarrubia talk about this…
Does tequila make a great holiday gift? Hell yes! With so many to choose from, how can you be sure you’re getting the right one for the right person? We…

It was late at night, and the hotel bar was closed. Luckily, the cleaning crew was on call to keep the tequila flowing, so we sat and talked for hours…
Grover and I were shopping in our friendly neighborhood Costco, enjoying the free samples at the end of the aisles, when I spotted something that caused me to take a second and third look. (Then I whipped out my iPhone so I could take a picture of it.)
Costco Tequila. Their brand name, Kirkland, appears on many things in the store, and we’ve happily purchased Kirkland nuts, Kirkland batteries, and Kirkland bagels before. But Kirkland TEQUILA?
I pointed it out to Grover and his first response was, “Oh, we’re totally getting this.” Ack! He grabbed a bottle and put it in our cart, obviously he couldn’t wait to give it a try. (At $23.99 for an Extra Añejo, who could protest?)
We haven’t done an update lately, so I thought I would take a few minutes today and size up the current inventory in our home collection.
Don’t get confused with my use of the word “collection,” because all of these bottles are here for only one reason – to drink. No matter how pretty the bottle is, it goes in the recycle bin when it’s empty.
Our bar currently contains 37 bottles of tequila, 1 mini barrel of tequila we received as a gift, 1 mini bottle of mezcal, and 1 bottle of wine (all visible in the picture.) Not shown, because they are stored below, are 12 other bottles of tequila (including a bottle of El Tesoro de Don Felipe), mostly backup bottles to ensure that we don’t unexpectedly run out.

So that’s 49 bottles of tequila, total. Hmmm. I’d like to make that an even 50. What are we missing?
