That's actually a good idea. A bit of history and throw in some good food. Can't go wrong there.
El Tesoro de Don Felipe is one of my current favorite tequileria's. Honestly, for the price, you can't do much better at the moment. Their quality and taste is much noticeably higher than some of the more generic premiums, like Patron, and usually cheaper also. Well at least down here close to the border it is. I can find Tesoro all day long for $28(Platinum), $33(Reposado), and $36(Anejo). I'm not the biggest fan of their Rep, aside from using to make superb margaritas, but their Anejo is absolutely fabulous and their Blanco/Platinum is one of the best on the market period.
I started off many years ago as stricly an Anejo guy. I would typically only drink Tequila late in the evening after a meal, and the aged Anejo was more pleasing in that regard. As my taste for Agave developed, I started drinking it a lot more and experimenting with more Blanco's and Reposado's. Now I drink all three varieties on a regular basis, but my heart has grown extremely fond of excellent Blanco's. I've just really grown to appreciate the attack Blanco's have on the tongue and how all the Agave is there to taste, savor, and appreciate. I still love Anejo's, but have found that I now gravitate towards the one's that still have a heavy presence of Agave in them. I don't like it when the oak puts too much of a woodsy influence on the Tequila.
Here's a link to a thread where I made some recommendations on Tequila. Hopefully you'll be able to get something out of them and perhaps get some ideas for future purchases.

Thanks for the invite. When I do eventually plan a trip out to the NE, I'll definitely hit you up.
