Famous Death Row Last Meals
This just isn't right.Vince Neil, front man for band Motley Crue, has a new line of tequila out called Tres Rios. Now there is certainly nothing wrong with tequila (except that it makes me gag just thinking about it), and there is nothing wrong with a "celebrity" brand of alcohol, tequila (apparently rockers like to do tequila like Sammy Hagar), wine, or otherwise. However, as TMZ has pointed out, Vince Neil was also responsible for killing a passenger in his car after a drunk driving accident back in 1984. Now he's pushing a brand of his own tequila?!?! Not to mention that he also has wines from Vince Vineyards.
Yikes. Even if I were to ever drink tequila again (and that's only if it's masked in a margarita), I'll stick with the Don Julio.

Obviously, you haven't had good tequila. Cuervo is not good. Neither is Patron. Cabo Wabo is passable, but barely.
El Tesoro, Los Abuelos, and Herradura are all good tequilas.

Also, the tequila brand is way overpriced, and it is possible to get agave liquors such as Sotol or Mezcal that are at least as good as tequila for a small percentage of what a top shelf tequla costs. The absolute best agave liquor I ever had was an eleven dollar coconut shaped tourista bottle of Mezcal. It was even better than Herradura. And Sotol silver is only about US 20 a litre.

But, yes, there are some excellent Mezcals. And some very bad ones, too. If it has a worm, it is poison.
I have tasted dozens of agave derived liquors and have never found that Mezcal has the same subtlety or variety of flavors as some of the better Tequilas. And, certainly, there are overhyped, overpriced, Tequilas on the market that are not really that great -- Patron immediately comes to mind.
To each his own.

Although, back in college, I drank the cheap crap that made me sick because I did not have Don Julio money in those days. So no, I did not stick to Suazo for life, I graduated from College and graduated to Don Julio.
