Move over Jimmy Buffet, Sammy Hagar was in town at La Esquina last night and he brought mucho Cabo Wabo tequila, and his flowing golden curly locks, with him.
Hagar's main tequila guy, Julio, was also by his side, and schooled those in attendance on what makes a good tequila (something about agave) in a competitive tasting wherein three Cabo Wabo's were compared with three Patróns. Secret #1: Sammy sort of liked the Patrón Silver better!
When asked when he brought Hagar into the fold, Julio answered, "No, Sammy brought me on." Secret #2: Julio is starting his own tequila distillery and will one day compete with Hagar. It is unclear if the ex-Van Halen front man is aware of this.
Finally, and most importantly, Secret #3: After one or two shots, all tequila tastes the same.





For God's sake it is PATRON not Petron, which may be a tequila distilled from petroleum?
I bet you "Can't Drive 55" after having a few samplings of Mr. Hagar's tequila! LAWL
Centenario Silver is good for less than Patron.
nice job on the quick edit.
"After one or two shots, all tequila tastes the same."
That's the most factual statement I've ever read on the Gothamist.
regarding secret #2:
I doubt Hagar cares much about competition, since he's already sold 80% of his stake in the company for 80 million.
secret #3:
you are not supposed to take shots of top shelf tequila.
mas tequila!
Jimmy Buffett's empire is in no danger from this washed up sea turtle.
They're kind of skimpy on the pours don't you think?
BORING.
Mediocre tequila from "Rock n Roll Sammy Hagar" and the insult to Mexican food, "La Esquina"
