We Are Proud To Have A Donation Of 3 Entire Product Lines
And The Release Of The New La Piñata Tequila:
I first saw the new 374 bottles at the 2008 Night Club and Bar Show in Las
Vegas.  It is still a very new product but here is more information on 374:

"Our brand represents the area code for the city of Tequila, Jalisco and
its surroundings. 374 is the birthplace of Mexico’s national drink and pride. It
was within the area 374 that tequila was distilled for the first time back in the
1500s, making tequila the first distilled spirit on the North American
Continent.

Tequila 374 is homage to the great significance and contribution that this
area has made to the history of Mexico. We hope you will find our products
worthy of its name."  -Tequila 374 Neck Tag

"Tequila 374 is a brand new product owned by people from the Sacramento
area.  Tequila 374 is a proud advocate of youth sports and has committed to
donate 10% of their revenues in the Sacramento and surrounding areas to
help local young athletes achieve their goals."  -Tequila 374 handout

In their first year, 374 tequila raised $10,000 for local charities and youth
programs.  With a goal of $50,000 for their second year, 374 is truly helping
to make a difference in the community.  It is nice to see that more companies
are supporting local charities.  This company also sponsors numerous local
events and is a sponsor of the Tasting Aficionados.  We look forward to
raising more money for charities together in the future while sharing their
tequila.
Tequila Tazon
Tequila Tazon has been in business since 2004 and launched it's brand in  
2007.  In early 2007, Tazon tequila received a claim of trademark infringement
by Tezon tequila.  It is do to an agreement with this claim that Tazon tequila
switched to its current name of 374 Tequila.  With the switch came changes
to the tequila as well.  The original Tazon bottles were distilled two times and
the new 374 bottles are triple distilled.  It is due to the short time between
these changes that Tazon tequila has quickly become a popular collectors
item and something I am privileged and honored to have in my collection.
La Piñata Tequila
"For over 20 years La Piñata Mexican Restaurants have been the favorite Bay
Area destination for great food, great service and festive ambience. The
Guzman Family invites you to experience it yourself by visiting one of our six
family owned locations in Hayward, San Leandro, Alameda, Newark, Fremont
or Concord!" -
La Piñata Website

374 tequila was able to make the LP bottles in early January of 2009.  While
all three of these brands are from the same distillery they are very different in
taste.  The information below is on the neck tag of the bottles:

"Our passion for 100% agave tequila is inspired by our family roots from
Jalisco.  Our tequila is produced from the ripest hand harvested agave from
Amatitan, Jalisco, double-distilled to insure the natural, smooth essence of
Agave.  We invite you to experience "Tequila La Piñata."
