    Well this taste test comes with a side of crazy. We hit the ground running in a silly fashion. Do you say horse or horsy'? Does your life come with a side of whimsy? Guess which one of us prefers joy! Anyway, we taste test 4 blanco tequilas (supposed to be 5, but some coloring issues x'ed one out). Hope you enjoy this journy into crazy town and yet again, the blind test results in shock and awe!
