Thanks! I read vegas' post after I wrote mine. I have a sampler case on order from last Monday and haven't gotten it yet. I will inspect them before imbibing, that's for sure, and get back to you with codes. I would like to guess it was a worm in that bottle, Vegas. Perhaps TG got his bottling companies mixed up, sending AV to Mexico and the tequila to Lyons! Ha ha! Cheap attempt at humor, but I have been hammered going on 1 1/2 years and am feeling pretty low about my picks. I'm praying AVBC will revive the old glory days.
