Whenever I find myself with a hankering for tequila (as I often do) I typically reach for one of my favorite blancos, which I much prefer over reposados and añejos. The philosophy being that the mark of a brilliant maestro tequilero is in their blanco—unaged and straight from the still and brimming with vibrant fresh agave notes that take you back to Jalisco.

It was a tasty meal that could feed a whole ship from one pot.”

Now that the peak summer travel period is over, we normally assume that people will slow down in terms vacation-going and trip-taking.
