I work at a Total Wine. We have a real problem with people constantly trying to steal those tequila brands with the bottle locks. The people stealing them have no idea what good tequila really is. The El Padrino, Mi Familia and Gonzales tequilas are brands that Total Wine has direct relationships with. I would be very interested in your take on them if you ever get a chance to try them. That’s why the guy was following you around the tequila isles. Good video. Thanks

Total Wine is my primary liquor store, so it was super helpful to see you going through and pointing out the brands that are worth buying. I took notes! This could be a great series to do with other liquors as well. And maybe you could add a segment where you crown the best budget, mid-range, and top-shelf liquor available at a given location?

I find it kind of irritating when books like smugglers cove or Death & co have suggested lists of bottles, but I can’t find them at Total Wine. Total Wine also have a tasting room, so I’d suggest going back with your camera, talking to a manager about who runs the tequila section, and ask to do a tasting with some of the ones you haven’t tried. The publicity will mean that they could go for it - especially with the house brands

I worked for Total Wine for several years. Don't go in one if you don't like being bothered while you shop. Their business model is to recommend and add on anything in the store with a yellow tag on it. Those represent their highest margin items. Their sales staff are trained to come off as helpful, but in the end they'll only recommend what the company has trained them to recommend.

I live in the state of Virginia and sadly, our Total Wine shops cannot sell liquor. If fact, only state run ABC stores can sell liquor and most of them are 80% stocked with only the big brands. I HAVE found maybe 3 brands you mention so I am very grateful for that. Keep up the good work, cheers and namaste!

Was hoping you’d have a comment on Casa Dragones when you looked in the case. Recent pickups I’ve found: Fortaleza Reposado (I think the Blanco is a little better), G4 Rep, and Primo (which I’m told is the parent of G4). That one is very good.

Primo isn't necessarily the parent to G4 but their made at the same distillery. Everything out of there that I've tried has been amazing to say the least! And all excellent pick ups in my opinion!

I tend to always shop at Total Wine so this vid was super helpful next time I go on a tequila run, which will be soon since Fathers day is around the corner but I would love to see Vons/Safeway (if there’s any in your area). Total Wine is a bit of a drive out but Vons is my local grocery store and sometimes the one I go to on short notice

@Lui_Fern Жыл бұрын
So i don't have either a Vons or a Safeway near me. MA has a bunch of locally owned Packies (package stores, i.e liquor stores) rather than a lot of larger chains.

I'd actually love to hear your views on the El Padrino line of tequilas if you get a chance to taste them. They use a roller mill, then c ook in both autoclave (which I usually avoid) and stone/brick ovens before distilling in a pot still. They have a high proof (100) example that I think is decent and reasonably priced and the extra anejo is also decent.

The one tequila Walmart stocks that is worth buying is El Tesoro Blanco. $44 at the Walmart Liquors by me. I agree with almost all of your ratings. Just slight differences probably based on palate. FYI, El Padrino is pretty bad. I tried it once. Once.
