videoThe "illegal" wine that changed Italy
In the 1970s, Italy's greatest winemakers broke the law to create the "Super Tuscans." Discover how the lowest legal category of wine beat the world. What questions does this video answer? What is a "Super Tuscan" wine and why was it created? Why were legendary wines like Sassicaia and Tignanello legally labeled as basic "table wine"? What is the difference between Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino? How did the 1970s Tuscan rebellion expose the flaws in Italy's wine laws? About This Video: Tuscany's wine history is built on both strict laws and legendary rebellions. In 1716, Cosimo III de' Medici protected Chianti two centuries before the French AOC system even existed. Guided by the Sangiovese grape, Tuscany's diverse terroir produces everything from bright Chianti Classico to the powerful Brunello di Montalcino—which legally cannot be released until its fifth year.

13th Annual BourbonGuy.com Brackets: Round 1c: Maker’s 46 vs Woodford Reserve
Good afternoon friends! We are back yet again with the third of our Round 1 Competitions. These were tasted in an order only known to my wife as another bit of obfuscation to hide what was being tasted. So Round 1 of the 2026 BourbonGuy.com Brackets continues with Division 2’s Number 3 seed, Woodford Reserve taking on Number 2 seed, Maker’s 46. Maker’s 46 was the second wide-release, permanent product in the history of Maker’s Mark. The first being…Maker’s Mark. It came after much experimentation under the direction Bill Samuels Jr., son of founder Bill Samuels Sr. The “46” is said to be the winning trial number in the original experiments. Maker’s 46 takes the original wheated Maker’s Mark and “finishes” with the addition of French Oak staves toward the end of the aging process for a sweeter and spicier product. Maker’s 46 is produced at the Maker’s Mark Distillery in Loretto, KY. This bottle was purchased at Viking Liquor Barrel in Prior Lake, MN for $29.97 for a 750 mL bottle or $2.
