I’ve been enjoying Socorro Tequila Blanco every time I fly American Airlines, but today I’m tasting the Socorro Tequila Reposado (NOM 1610) — a tequila made como debe ser in Los Altos, Jalisco. Handcrafted with 100% Blue Weber agave, brick-oven cooking, and Champagne yeast fermentation, this Reposado proves that great tequila doesn’t need additives — just passion, tradition, and purpose.
Socorro Tequila isn’t just about flavor; it’s about community. Every bottle helps fund clean-water projects in Jalisco, living up to the brand’s name — Socorro, meaning “to help.” In this full review, I’ll break down the nose, taste, and finish, plus share why it’s one of the best value tequilas under $40.
Watch until the end for details on my upcoming interview with co-founder Pablo Antinori!
Tasting Notes: Nose: Cooked agave, black pepper, oak, caramel, and vanilla. Taste: Roasted agave, pepper spice, caramel, and citrus zest. Finish: Medium-length with light oak, vanilla, and lingering pepper.
Awards: Double Gold (Blanco), Gold (Reposado), Silver (Añejo) – San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2025

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
