And then, just as there are now a lot more tequila selections here, there will be more rum selections. I'd love it if Trader Vic's took the lead in that. In Mexico, I have been to stores that sold nothing but tequila. Well over 100 different types. After seeing how the agave is made into tequila on the Food Network, it makes me want to look (taste) a liitle deeper. Rum is one big reason I'd like to go to Jamaica some time. Of course, how do you ship barrels home? I mentioned before that I had seen a vintage bottle of Trader Vic's rum on Ebay. I don't know how rare that was. The Swank Pad Broadcast - If it's Swank...
