Would you start drinking tequila at 10am on a Saturday? Of course you would, and so would we. All we needed was an excuse, and the local Sonoma radio station, KSVY, gave us one.
The “All About Frank” show, with host Stan Pappis, is usually a 2-hour weekly radio program dedicated to Frank Sinatra, but they made a slight exception for us by including tequila and mariachi music. Word got out that we would be getting into some really great tequilas, and the studio filled up with local taste test volunteers.
On the menu: Fortaleza Blanco; Gran Dovejo Blanco; Alquimia Reposado; Alquimia Extra Añejo; Fortaleza Extra Añejo; Siembra Valles Ancestral; and El Caballito Cerrero Blanco 46.
Listen in as we started this particular morning off the best way possible.

Thanks to Stan and KSVY for extending the invitation, and providing the great excuse to start the tequila part of my day a little earlier than usual!
I was just in Tequila and could not find Fortaleza Extra Añejo only Fortaleza Añejo. Where did you get it?
Hi I’ll be in vacation in July in Mexico precisely in Yucatán. I know that I’ll not be in the kingdom of tequila but I want to know good tequila that is not on sale in the USA. I like the reposado and anejo tequila
It may be tough to find a big selection there. I wish we could help you but we rarely venture into that part of Mexico.
FG – The selection of good or better Tequilas in the Yucatán can be a bit limited. It seems strange, but many of best Tequilas are found where ever in the States and in Tequila, GDL and Tlaquepaque areas of Jalisco and not much of anywhere else. I’ve shopped about in Merida, Cancun, Cozumel, Playa, Costa Maya and the greater M.C. area. The best place that I’ve found of any consistency outside of Estato de Jalisco is in the liquor store chain, La Europea. Not that it is always a great location for a great selection of great Tequilas, but they generally have more breadth, depth and dependablely compared to others.
