For those of us who come up short on the time it takes to acquire a comprehensive understanding of tequila, Lance Cutler has done our homework for us. From the making of tequila to the drinking of it, this is an accurate and enjoyable read. It is a must-have reference guide for the tequila lover, as well as those out there still wondering what all the fuss is about! Great information on traveling in Tequila, and lots of good stuff on the various distilleries. Though the tequilas tasted are described in some depth, they are not rated. I guess that is left up to personal taste! He couldn't do everything for us, after all.
