Read this in the first story, The breakdown of Diageo’s talks with the Beckmanns, who are heirs of the founding Cuervo family, is also likely to fuel speculation that Diageo might be interested in the Beam spirits group in the United States, which owns the tequila brand Sauza.
For now, Diageo said it would focus on developing its Don Julio tequila brand, which is smaller but aimed at a higher-end and faster-growing customer base than Jose Cuervo, according to the company.
And THEN noticed this bon mot in the 2nd story, “Agave Holdings is pleased to welcome Diageo as an anchor tenant in our Alhambra Circle facility," Jose Antonio Perez Helguera, Agave Holdings managing director", would it be paranoid schizophrenia to put 2 and 2 together and get 6?!?
Did it tweak my (admittedly whacked) imagination, or, it is what whacked my funny-bone instead, when the former is paired with the snippet from the latter?
Then again, maybe I AM of a similar "Beautiful Mind", yes?
