A Little Late for Cinco de Mayo, but ...

A guy named J.B. Wagoner of Temecula, CA (northeast of San Diego) has started his own tequila outfit. It all began as a landscaping project in which he planted blue agave (left). One thing led to another and he eventually decided to become a "master distiller." Unfortunately, he can't officially call his drink tequila because he's not making it in Mexico (kind of like how champagne can only be from France), so for now he's calling it JB Wagoner's Ultra Premium 100% Blue Agave Spirits. Unwieldly to be sure, he's trying to change the name to "Temequila."
