Going beyond the Margarita
Think tequila is only for margaritas and bachelor parties?
Think again.
Despite its reputation as a party drink, tequila is a complex beverage that has a lot in common with wine.
A pair of tequila ambassadors are preaching the gospel of agave-based liquor at tastings every Saturday afternoon at Salud, the bar at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort.
Bar supervisors Carlos Ruiz and Sergio Duenas are two of only a handful of American ambassadors certified by the Academia Mexicana del Tequila.
Take part in the tequila tastings
• When: 3:30 p.m. Saturdays.
• Where: Salud at JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort, 3800 W. Starr Pass Blvd.
• Cost: $25.
• Summary: The price includes the tequila tasting, light appetizers, education and materials. The topic of each tasting will change weekly, focusing on various tequila houses, styles, regions, aging and more.

Doug Stanhope does stand-up at Club Congress on Saturday
The comedian Doug Stanhope, former co-host of “The Man Show” and a resident of Bisbee, will perform on Saturday night at Club Congress.
“If you only know me from television, then you aren’t familiar with what I do,” he says on his Web site. “Live shows are the only true freedom of speech left. Get out of the house. We will only be alive for so long, and no good stories ever came from your couch or getting up on time for work.” Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are $20.
Festival for Life at the UA Student Union on Sunday
This annual fundraiser for the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation got its start in 1989 as a way to raise money to support those affected by HIV/AIDS.
It’s changed over the years, but the focus on fine art work, available through live and silent auctions, remains true to the vision of Jerôme Beillard and Robert Markley.
The evening, which starts at 4 p.m. Sunday at the UA’s grand ballroom in the Student Union, features live music, plus food, drink and plenty of good cheer. Advance tickets are $60, or pay $75 at the door. Call 628-7223.
