Who would have thought — in 1969 — that the guy wailing on a Gibson SG guitar at the Woodstock festival would one day have a broad selection of merchandise bearing his name? Yet here Carlos Santana is, 40 years later, with not only the status of an elder statesman in the music world, but a world-wide brand name as well.

After the success of his Champagne (actually, Santana DVX Sparkling Wine), Carlos took the next step by being part owner of the Casa Noble company, and introduced his own branded Carlos Santana tequila line. Bottoms up!
