Default Santana does Dosage

From Wine Spectator:

From "Oye Como Va" to "Tiny Bubbles": Latin rock legend Carlos Santana has been wildly prolific in his five-decade career, with 36 album releases, more than 50 million albums sold and countless concerts in stadiums packed with thousands of fans. His first foray into the wine business--1,500 cases of Santana DVX sparkling wine produced with Mumm Napa Valley--looks like an intimate club gig by comparison. Scheduled for release in September, the Pinot Noir-Chardonnay blend will retail for $55. Santana loves food and wine--he says he opens a bottle of Silver Oak Cabernet every day--and he's currently working with Mumm winemaker Ludovic Dervin to select the dosage, the sugar-and-wine mixture that determines the sweetness level of the bubbly. For each bottle sold, $5 will go to the Milagro Foundation, a charitable organization started by Santana and his wife, Deborah, to benefit underprivileged children.

Quite the entrepreneur. Let's not forget his successful business as a shoe designer. Go Carlos!
