Casa Chapala’s Austin Tequila Society Presents “2nd Austin Tequila Fest”: An Evening of Tequila Tasting, Fun, Food and Music Benefitting the Homeless Coach.
On Friday, November 4th, 2011, from 7pm – 9pm at Casa Chapala (101 San Jacinto, 78701) guests and members of Casa Chapala’s Austin Tequila Society will vote for their favorite tequilas from among many distilleries represented to challenge your palate.
Dozens of tequilas such as Patrida, Baluarte, and Don Julio, as well as popular local brands like Ambhar and Republic will vie for the top three to receive “Austin’s Favorite Tequilas of 2011” and then compete for the “All Star Favorite Tequila”.
Guests will taste Blancos, Reposados and Añejos, searching for their favorite tequila. And when they’ve found it, they’ll vote by depositing their ancient Mayan coin into the appropriate vessel. The top three tequila brands with the most coins will win “Austin’s Favorite Tequilas of 2011” awards and then compete for the “All Star Favorite Tequila”.
Three tequila aficionados and enthusiasts who are flying in from different USA locations will judge the three winners of the “Austin’s Favorite Tequilas of 2011” to find the “All Star Favorite Tequila” winner.
As guests learn about their favorite tequila, they will enjoy live music by the Jonas Alvarez Band and tasting soirée of delicious small bites of Casa Chapala’s favorite interior Mexican cuisines.
At 8:55 pm, the “All Star Favorite Tequila” winner will be announced.

Meet The Judges
Bob Wolter (@tequilabob23 / www.tequilatracker.com) - "Tequila Bob's" interest in tequila started when he was first introduced to a 100% agave brand in 2000. After a few years of enjoying quality tequilas as a casual fan, he began to take more that just a passing interest as more new brands began to appear in the market. Determined to get educated on the subject, he has become a self-described passionate tequila enthusiast and has taken what was once a simple hobby to the internet where he shares his educational journey into different brands, old and new, and the people behind them, always looking to learn something new along the way.
Queen of Tequila(www.queenoftequila.com). The Queen of Tequila is the first American indivudual awarded a diploma from the prestigious entity ruling tequila in the world: The Consejo Regulador del Tequila. She is also the first American woman to receive a Tequila Connoisseur certification from the World Tequila Conference in addition to mulitple certifications from professional Mexican catadors. In the center of Guadalajara during a spectacular 16 September Celebration, her tequila comrades crowned her their "Tequila Queen"! Now she travels in her Queen of Tequila Mobile across the country following her passion of tequila and visiting her amigos in Mexico.
Kelly Cash is a self-proclaimed "enthusiastic amateur," though his experience tasting tequila is beginning to border upon professional. To date he's tasted and rated well in excess of 500 different tequilas.
His new website, www.tequilaneat.com, is growing regularly and already has become a resource to many.
