The ultimate test of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and moments of convenience, but where he stands in moments of challenge and moments of controversy. »» Martin Luther King, Jr., 27 January 1965
I don’t drink alcohol. It’s not a religious thing, and I’m not “in recovery”, I’ve just never been a fan of either the taste or the affects of alcohol consumption. That’s not to say that I’ve never had a drink (or even that I’ve never been drunk), rather that I simply don’t drink. Since moving to Morgan Hill two years ago I’ve had 1/2 of one beer. That was because Z and I were trying out a new restaurant and they had chocolate beer on the menu. Chocolate beer? I had to try it. It was good, but still had too much of a beer aftertaste to buy more in the future. In the two or three years before moving here I had a total of about 3 drinks a year. I was working in the performance poetry world, our events were in bars, and various people would occasionally buy me a drink to celebrate one thing or another. It’s often better business to just accept the drink then to possibly offend by going non-alcoholic. In those cases I would drink tequila.
I’m not talking about Jose Cuervo, but good tequila - 100% blue agave sipping tequila. And that’s what The Tequila Guy talks about as well. Apparently there is a “Tequila Renaissance” under way, and I’m missing out. If you’ve ever wanted to know more about tequila, or are a connoisseur yourself, then The Tequila Guy is a site you must bookmark. He keeps up on all the latest tequila news and developments, posts tequila recipes, and has reviews for literally hundreds of 100% blue agave tequila tequilas. If there’s anything that’s not on his site, he even encourages readers to send in their questions. What more could a tequila drinker ask for?
