About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.

Product Notes:
Don't let this bogeyman scare you. Chamucos is a new contender on the market. Visually like a blanco but rested enough to make it smooth, Chamucos comes out of the night to bring drinkers a sweet agave taste balanced by heavier flavor complexities.. A delicate entry leads to a dry, light-to medium body withroasted fruit and brown spices. Finishes nicely with a dried fruit fade.

Food Pairing:
Produced for rock singer Sammy Hagar, Cabo Wabo is an extremely smooth tequila that is perfect in margaritas or straight up with a wedge of lime.

About Varietal:
Tequila is usually bottled in one of five categories:
* oro ("gold") unaged tequila which is "joven y abogado" (young and adulterated) which means that caramel, fructose, glycerin and wood flavoring can be added to resemble aged tequila * a�ejo ("aged" or "vintage") � aged minimum 1 year but less than 3 years in oak barrels
* maduro ("mature," "ultra-aged," or "vintage") � aged minimum 3 year in oak barrels This is a new category which was established in March 2006, represented on the bottles as "Extra A�ejo".
The aging process changes the color of tequila, but the liquid can sometimes be colored with caramel to show a darker color, indicative of a longer aging process; a�ejos tend to be darker, the reposados slightly less dark, while the platas are not colored at all.[citation needed
It is a common misconception that some tequilas contain a 'worm' in the bottle. Only certain mezcals, usually from the state of Oaxaca, are ever sold con gusano, and that only began as a marketing gimmick in the 1940s. The worm is actually the larval form of the moth Hypopta agavis that lives on the agave plant. Finding one in the plant during processing indicates an infestation and, correspondingly, a lower quality product. (Note: for more information on how tequila is made, see mezcal.) However this misconception continues, and even with all the effort and marking to represent Tequila as a premium -- similar to the way Cognac is viewed in relation to brandy -- there are some opportunist producers for the shooters and fun market who blur these boundaries

Recipe:
Tequila Shot:
1. Take a wedge of lemon and rub it on your hand between your index finger and your thumb. As an alternative to using the lemon, you can lick your hand.
2. Sprinkle salt on the wet spot.
3. Lick the salt.
4. Shoot the shot.
5. Bite the lemon.
6. Enjoy!
