		<title>Tequila Factory Plantation Tour Ideas</title>
		<link>http://www.blueagaveforum.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6067-tequila-factory-plantation-tour-ideas/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I am going to Puerto Vallarta this June and I want to visit a factory in the Tequila region. Does anyone know what the best tour is that allows you to tour the plantation and see harvesting of the agave crop? I would love to see the whole process.<br />
<br />
Also, does anyone know how long it takes to drive from Puerto Vallarta to Tequila? <br />
<br />
Thanks all<br />

		<title>2010 Blue Agave Tour is closed!</title>
		<link>http://www.blueagaveforum.com/forum/index.php?/topic/5920-2010-blue-agave-tour-is-closed/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[All<br />
<br />
I regret to inform you all that I must close the registration of the 2010 Blue Agave Tour.  We have had spectacular level of interest this year.  Our attendee list this year is compromised of the worlds largest tequila collectors, world class bartenders, national media, and many other tequila lovers!   <br />
<br />
I also allowed a slightly larger attendance this year.  We are going to have to get the big bus.  I am officially retiring after this year.  My reasons are many.   As much as I enjoy doing this, it takes alot of time and effort to put together.  I would love to hand my contact information to the next young whippersnapper who would like to take the lead on this. <br />
<br />
This is going to be a rockin year, I can already tell.  We have a great mixture of new and old (and really old).  Jalisco, be warned <img src='http://www.ianchadwick.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
If you have concerns about whether you 'made the cut', please email me at Rachel@tequilanuts.com.  If you have paid your deposit, you are in.  For those of you who sent via mail last week or paypal today, YES, you are in.   I am going to be honest.  I have two spots left on the expanded roster.  Those spots are reserved for 3 prominent members who can't confirm yet (counting on one not coming lol).  IF these spots aren't taken by the first of March, they will remain empty unless you give me 10k <img src='http://www.ianchadwick.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />  Just kidding.<br />

When talking with a few distilleries this year, it was obvious the impact the economy has had on them.  As you know, many of these distillery owners don't just welcome us into their distillery but they treat us like family and insist on feeding us and filling us with great agave juice.   I am asking our group to open our pocketbooks (just a little) to say thank you.   I'm not asking for a large donation, just loose change or a couple or bucks or whatever.  My goal is at least help defray the costs they go to entertain us.  I am sure we couldn't ever cover it all, but it's the thought that counts.   This isn't a requirement and you shouldn't feel obligated in any manner.   As we deboard for these particular distilleries (not collecting for the big name/corporate owned boys) we will have a small donation bucket available.<br />
<br />
What I need from you -<br />
Full names of every attendee<br />
T Shirt Size of Every Attendee.  If you want a long sleeve t-shirt, let me know and I will collect an extra five from you down there.<br />
Xtra TShirts are $15, Long Sleeves are $20<br />
Email Addresses of at least one attendee in your group<br />
State Side contact number for at least one attendee in your group<br />
Contact number valid in Mexico (If available) for at least one attendee in your group.  IF you are a blackberry user BIM's are free in Mexico to other BIM's<br />
<br />
 Welcome everyone, we are going to have a great time this year.]]></description>

		<title>Heading to Tequila in 3 weeks</title>
		<link>http://www.blueagaveforum.com/forum/index.php?/topic/5891-heading-to-tequila-in-3-weeks/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi, Folks.  I'm new to the forum and hope I am posting this in the correct place.  I live half time in Ajijic, about 2 hours from Tequila.  Four of us are headed to Tequila for a couple days in early February.  I see you guys make an annual trip to Tequila and hoped you could give me recommendations on:<br />
1.  Where to stay.  I think we want to be in town.  Would appreciate your recommendations.   <br />
2.  We want to go to 2 or 3 distilleries.  Which would you recommend?  It's not just about drinking the tequila...although that is important.  I want my friends to learn how it's made too.<br />
3.  Where to eat.  What's your favorite place?<br />
Many thanks.  <img src='http://www.ianchadwick.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' />]]></description>
