Kudos for Corralejo!

Going back a few years, one of my first favorite "every day" tequilas was Corralejo reposado. I loved to mix margaritas with it, and I also loved it straight. Not the blanco, not the añejo; the repo in the tall blue bottle. Of course over the last few years I have found better, more "boutique" tequilas. Corralejo is mass-produced. I get that. In Mexico it's everywhere, at $11 a bottle. But around here (in New England), it has been mis-categorized as a "top-shelf" tequila, and it's overpriced. So instead of being $20 or $25 per bottle, it's nearly $40. So I don't buy it as a rule. But you know what? Just bought my first bottle of Corralejo repo in a couple years (paid $37 -ouch!), and here's the deal: I still REALLY like it. If it was $20 I'd never run out of it. Corralejo, mi corazón.
