When the sales guy was following you, I pictured you pulling a Ron Swanson... "Can I help you?" "I KNOW MORE THAN YOU..." Definitely love these shopping videos!
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
@@icxcnika9990 Which one did you try? I got to taste test the Anejo Cristalino at the store and I was sold (tried El Padrino Anejo as well and while it was pretty easy drinking it tasted like it has added flavors). I did a blind taste test with some friends at home and the Mi Familia was the clear winner. Even beating out Tequila Ocho (granted it was Plata but it's damn good).
@@Brian-to2eb It was the anejo. My son and I tried sampled it at Total Wine. It left a very bad after taste....for about 20 minutes. I'm guessing there were some type of additives.
@@Brian-to2eb I've tried the Mi Familia Anejo Cristalino and enjoyed it as well. I'm no tequila expert though and haven't tried many of the top brands Luis recommends, so I can't say it's "what tequila is supposed to taste like." It was smooth, a little sweet, had chocolaty and peppery notes. Very sippable for me.
Love your videos! Just discovered you. Love tequila and didn’t know much. I’m in heaven watching your past videos. Thank you!! You own a bar? Where? It would be such a treat to visit you.
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 found a bottle of El Tesoro Blanco for $32. You were the first guy I stumbled across on IG recommending these brands. Now I have a little tequila collection I'm sipping on. Thanks for the info!
I don't know enough about tequila to have an opinion that an expert would even want to hear, but I think Don Fulano has the best name of all the ones in this video, hands down.
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.
As someone who just left the highest volume Total Wine in the country, working the tequila aisle, listen to what that guy said. Granted my colleagues and I always pushed additive free, not all yellow tags are bad, but they are pressured to push those yellow tags. Now my job is to sell Mijenta and I'm very proud of that. @@Lui_Fern
I love your videos! I don’t buy a lot of alcohol but I love Tequila and your videos have helped me to know what to choose when faced with so many choices.
Thanks for all the recommendations in all your videos. I’ve not been disappointed and an EVEN bigger thank you for telling me which brands to “avoid like the plague “ 👏🏽
Total Wine is amazing. There's a smallish one near me and a huge one in Delaware that i haven't visited in a decade that has a couple bottles you recommended
Nowhere in my town has that kind of selection. I did find Lalo recently, which is delicious, and El Tesoro remains probably my favorite brand that is fairly accessible, carried by several local stores. I love both their Blanco and Anejo for different reasons. Must be sipped neat for best experience.
@@Lui_Fern Definitely enjoyed it, I would buy this again and recommend it too, an interesting experience, hits the nose and palette like an agave brandy, enjoy!
You guys in the U.S have some much choice for Tequila & Mezcal. It is getting much better here in Australia. Fastest growing spirit in the country at the moment.
This is probably your best video, I keep coming back to it when I visit Total Wine because I don't want to buy Total Wine's generic crap (and I've been fooled before)
Have you tried El Mexicano which is additive free and rates very well on Tequila MM? Both the repo and blanco are cheap and in the high 20’s to mid 30’s range
Thank You!!!! I've been trying ti find a good guide for tequila since Total Wine is my closest overall liquor store to buy spirits in Baltimore. Great content!!!!
Lui, I enjoyed this video of your trip to Total Wine. I like that you pointed out recommendations for the good and bad brands. It was nice to see the bottles, the brands, and their current prices. Please do more videos like this. More trips, more brands, more everything. It was fun coming along for the ride. :)
You walked right by the Herradura! If you ever see a Double Barrel Reposado store pick or restaurant pick you must try it! I was just there buying 2 barrels for my restaurant’s by far some of the finest stuff
I moved to San Diego from Boston about 4 years ago and living here I am obsessed with tequila. Love your reviews man.. when I am back in town I can't to try your restaurant!
That is a huge Tequila selection! I'm paying $30 for Arette. It's my go to. I'm on board with El Tosoro! Good to see some love for Tres Agaves. It's very nice for the price. I could not get into T. Ocho. It had a note of olive brine to me that I personally did not like but I know it's quality. I dislike all mescal very much.... but that's just me. Siete Leguas I like but not my fave. I want more ArteNOM but it's been hard to get lately.
Thank you sir, for all of your VERY helpful and informative videos! I used to buy both 818 AND Casamigos (head held in shame) but I have since seen the light and I discovered your channel, searching for agave forward, preferably additive-free tequilas. 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!
I brought some Cimarron for a Friday happy hour and the people really liked it. Went well for Margaritas , Sunrises & Palomas. Even a few enjoyed them as shots.
that was great, nice to see you comment all these different type of bottles. The markets I go to have less variety, just the major mainstream brands. But I will def be on the look out, especially those budget ones
I found El Tesoro today because of your video. I bought the reposado. I also saw the one with the 7 in the name reposado for under 50 dollars - maybe I should have grabbed it 😊
Shout out to Tres Agaves! My current favorite lower-priced brand, blanco makes a great margarita and both the repo and anejo are great sippers! Where do you live, man? My local liquor store prices are all higher than this, and I'm in small-town South Carolina lol
Another great video Lui! Can’t wait to go shopping in a big US liquor store, going to Philly in October. So few good tequilas available here in Quebec , Canada.
Hope you find some good options! Pennsylvania from what I hear is a control state so it may be a bit difficult to find the best brand about you certainly will find more than in Quebec
And if I’m not so lucky! I will have to go to Massachusetts and go to Labaredas Brazilian BBQ & Bar at the same time ! Enjoying your Cantarito recipe while writing to you! Thanks !
DAMN IT! DUDE, you were right at the El Silencio and didn't mention it @4:15. Thats the one I need to know about. I was gifted a bottle and haven't opened it yet. I can only find one review on YT so far. Whaddayathink?
This was helpful. I watched this video while in Total Wine. I’ve been using El Padrino blanco for my margaritas, and I’ve been pretty happy about it. But today I picked up the El Tesoro and Arette blancos to try them out.
Gotta love Lui. He knows what's up. Lui, you need to go to Atotonilco el Alto. You will love the Siete Leguas distillery. It's 400 meters away from my sister's house and in the most beautiful neighborhood of Atotonilco. Stay at Casa Rubio. Eat the best tacos you will ever have at La Guadalupana which is catty corner from the town plaza and right next to it is Taqueria Los Cuñados (but I recommend their taqueria on the main road which is better). You can also have a torta ahogada in town as well. It is SO BEAUTIFUL, I'm telling you, especially once you get on the highway that takes to you Los Altos. There is a mirador that allows you to see the entire town and beyond. Bro, you GOTTA get down there.
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 enjoy these types of videos. You have been my gateway into tequilas and steered me through the crap and into amazing tequilas. I found a bottle of Tequila Ocho blanco and tried it last weekend. I now know what tequila is actually supposed to taste like. Thank you and keep it up!
@wrxdrifter19 Oh yeah. Same here. I'm new to tequila, except that about 45 years ago I got sick drinking El Toro.. That pretty much ruined my experience with tequila. I was told by a bourbon buddy to try Tequila Ocho. It took me about the 4th time tasting it to really start to appreciate it. By the 5th time tasting it I was in love with it. My batch is very citrus on the finish, makes my mouth water. Now, really starting to take that journey through the good to great tequilas, with the help of experienced and knowledgeable people who care to share what they know.
Just got some Siete Leguas after watching a few of your videos and researching on Tequila Matchmaker. Definitely surprising how good real tequila is compared to the swill I was drinking in college. I'm still looking for some Fortaleza (if Total Wine ever gets it in stock), but I'm glad I found your channel and tried some amazing tequila! Never going back to Jose Cuervo
I have one of the last cases of Don Fernando (blue bottle) and 2 cases of the Fulano imperial from 2007)blue ceramic one of my 2 top tens I wish I would see more of these 2 brands
I like the way you shop! I find that Total Wine here in the Bay Area has more good choices than may of the other stores. Sometimes I find great bottles at small local markets too. I try to shop around.
At about the 4:17 mark, you mentioned a Mezcal that you said was great. I couldn't catch the name of it. Can you let us know what the name is? Thanks in advance! Your videos are great, keep up the good work.
I love this video, 2 tequilas that I didn’t see you cover are Gonzalez and Tres Amigos, what’s your thoughts? (These the 2 that the guy in the store try to sell to me)
That tequila that took up the whole shelf, that's El Padrino. That's Total Wines tequila. They try to push it for that reason. Don't bother with that 👍🏼
I shop in Total Wine as well. they have a good selection of good and awful. Still searching for Fortaleza and G4.... Enjoying El Tequelino in the meanwhile...
The thing I actually wanted to say, these videos and reviews are great. I work in liquor sales and want to provide an educated voice for the folks that choose my store.
When the sales guy was following you, I pictured you pulling a Ron Swanson...
"Can I help you?"
"I KNOW MORE THAN YOU..."
Definitely love these shopping videos!
HAHAHAHAHAHAH that would've been hilarious
@@Lui_Fern have you ever tried Cayeya Reposado?

Thumbs up for me Lui because that's where many of us shop.
Wooo! Happy to hear that friend
It’s sad with the selection here in Ontario. I now pick up Tromba thanks to your videos! Normally the blanco is easy to find.
Unless you happen to work for the competition.
@@Itsduggan I was up in Montreal last month and i was shocked at how limited the options were.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Peter! I really appreciate you 😁🙏
Lui's tequila game is on point. Really helpful to see you wade through the mis-direction bottles and lock in on the ones that should earn your money.
Hahaha thank you friend!
Love your videos! Just discovered you. Love tequila and didn’t know much. I’m in heaven watching your past videos. Thank you!! You own a bar? Where? It would be such a treat to visit you.
I do! And thank you for the kind words. My bar is in Marlborough MA 😁
Love these types of videos! I'd be curios to see your opinions on how certain liquor stores mark up prices on their bottles.

Just picked up my first bottle of Mijenta Blanco yesterday! Can't wait. Great video sir!!
It's quite good. Bought one a few months ago on Lui's rec
Thank you friend! Let me know what you think of the Mijenta!
Mijenta blanco is lovely. I like it so much I’m about to buy the repo at Total Wine.
@@Lui_Fern Not disappointed in the Blanco. Will be on the rotation moving forward!
@@TheFubarFrenzy woo! Happy to hear it
Very well stocked for sure. I prefer tequila in the summer evenings.
I should have looked for this video last Friday when I was in total wines looking at anejos. End up getting suavecito anejo.

Tequila Ocho Blanco or El Tesoro Blanco? Thanks!
Did you try 3 amigos. Just left with a bottle Blanco was impressed with the sample I tried

Yes it is
Awesome video, please do more tequila shopping 👍
Thank you friend! Yes i definitely will be doing more soon
Love your suggestions, thanks...I have to try some El Tesoro!

They push that, Cazul and Legado at my Total Wine. I don't care for any of it.
How do you know it;s additive free? I'm new at this.
I shop in Total Wine as well. they have a good selection of good and awful. Still searching for Fortaleza and G4.... Enjoying El Tequelino in the meanwhile...
The thing I actually wanted to say, these videos and reviews are great. I work in liquor sales and want to provide an educated voice for the folks that choose my store.
What's your thoughts on Maestro Dobel Silver? Love the videos brother ✌🏻
Total wine is my apostle favorite store on earth
