Curious, did they make any recommendations for how to drink it? I was in Mexico with some work people and we were invited to dinner at a colleague's house (nicest house I've ever been in). He pulled out some good tequilla from the freezer, said to always store it in the freezer. He poured each of us a shot in a heavily salted glass with lime wedges. I went to shoot it and he grabbed my arm as I started to arch forward and load up to take the shot and told me good tequilla should never be shot, only sipped. I agree with him now, you really get to enjoy the flavor but have always been curious if that was "the way" or something a little more idosyncratic.
Where in Mexico were you? Supposed to be sipped neat is my understanding. Maybe with salt and lime, and I've seen it served with orange slices and sal to gusano, but definitely sipped and not shot. I've never heard of it being stored cold and I've never had it served cold, always room temp.

I was in Hermosillo, Sonora. Cool city, best food I've had in my life.
Nice. I've never been, but was in Tucson last year and enjoyed the Sonoran food a lot, the mesquite fired meat, chiltepin peppers, and carne seca.
