Total Wine - Tequila BS

Canadian here. I spent a couple weeks in Scottsdale/Phoenix and was wanted to try blancos not easily found at home.

I wrote down the recommended bottles learned from this sub and went into a Total Wine. I was sold on several bottles that were “a way better value than those recommendations”. “Don’t always believe what you read online.” (One was El Ateo. I don’t remember the bottles because they were decent but not fantastic. I bought Ocho and G4 to take home.)

I should have read past comments on Total Wine. Their floor staff push customers towards their private labels versus other brands.

Lesson learned. The next time I am in the US, I will likely pass on visiting a Total Wine.

Disappointing BS.
