Texas Tequila Throwdown!!

AND DISH IS A JUDGE!!

Join DISH and Mike Cortez of Bite Me Houston THIS Saturday March 12th for the public tasting and competition at the 2011 Texas Tequila Throwdown. The event will take place at Momentum BMW Southwest (10002 S W Freeway, Houston, Texas 77074) from 8pm-11pm.

Each Texas Tequila company is hoping to be awarded the best Tequila in Texas for 2011...who do you think will win???

The Texas Tequila Throwdown is a free event and is open to the public 21 of age and up. We are asking attendees to donate canned goods and nonperishable items for the Houston Food Bank. Nothing more wonderful than having a great time while building the local businesses and helping the local community!! TRIPLE WIN!!

El Gran Jubileo Tequila (La Grange), Toro de Lidia Tequila (Laredo), Cavalino Tequila (Katy), Tequila Ambhar (Austin) Riazul Tequila (Houston), Dulce Vida Tequila (Austin), Pepe Z Tequila (Austin), Tequila 1921 (San Antonio) and Sangre Altena Tequila are just a few of the Texas companies that are looking forward to this year’s event all in hopes to be awarded the best Tequila in Texas.

Each company will feature their Blanco, Reposado and Anejo and a winner will be selected from each category. This will be a blind tasting and the tequila will be rated on a points scale according to appearance, aroma and flavor by a mixed panel of judges....Including yours truly!
