I think we all know more or less what's in hotdogs, and sausage.  Ground beef is just that.  We have ingredient labels which I know few read.  There is a lot of "hidden" salt and sugar in a ton of things, though it's all listed on the label.

There is a regulation on wines from California about the varietal in the wine, if not listed specifically.  Anything saying "merlot" as the type of wine must be at least 75% merlot.  This is not a big deal usually as a blend that isn't 75% of one varietal may be called simply "red wine" and still be superb.  Or not.

Wine "ratings" and "gold medals" seem to have abated a bit fortunately.



Bordeaux are blends and they're the most delicious wines in the world.  :)

Bordeauxs nearly always are blends, maybe a scant few are 100%, I don't know of any.  Burgundies are usually 100% though some of their chardonnays have aligote in them.  

A surprise to some folks is that Champagnes often contain pinot noir and pinot meunier as well as chardonnay, or even with no chard.

I don't know of any Bordeaux that's 100%.  My favorites are the Left Bank which tend to be around 70-75% Cabernet Sauvignon, and maybe 20% Merlot, with the remainder being Cabernet Franc and/or Petit Verdot.

Malbec is the other allowed grape in red Bordeauxs, and I don't know of any that are 100% either.  The right banks tend to be merlot heavy of course, maybe merlot and cab franc.  Some of the most expensive ones are unclassified, like Petrus.

Yup, hence my preference.  

But I'm down with Left Bank, too.

If someone offered to buy me a bottle of a something at a nice restaurant, I'd first look at a red burgungy, and then maybe a Brunello with some age on it.

But I wouldn't turn down a Bordeaux of course.  Interesting how many good wines start with B, barollo, barbaresco, brunello, Bordeaux, Boone's ....

Man, I've never followed golf very closely, but now apparently I follow it even less.  I only recognized maybe 5 names on that list.

This is sort of a ranking thing....at least an identified #1.

I've asked here about the best pass defense in college football history, even doing a poll.
But I researched it some more tonight and I think I've found it. 

What has made it hard is putting things in the context of the different eras.  The stats are what they are, but have to be taken in the context in which they played.  A baseball example would be a pitcher going out and having a 1.12 ERA now compared to Gibson in '68....it would be immensely more impressive (and better) today.

You can go back far in time to find the best statistical pass defenses, which largely faced option offenses and wobbly lob passes.  And I had thought the 2011 Alabama pass D was probably the best ever, but hadn't pulled the trigger on that official designation in my Whoa Nellie Game (as I have with the all-time best run D:  1993 Arizona). 

All that being said, it looks like 1999 Kansas State had the best pass D ever. 
The '97 and '98 KSU squads are more known and sexier (I'm looking at you, Michael Bishop), but the '99 Cats' pass D was an all-time killer.

I'll compare it to the 97 UM pass D and the '11 Tide effort:
.
Att  - Pct  - Int - ypa -TD all - pass rating
292 - 49.7 - 22 - 4.4 - 4 - 75.8
334 - 41.2 - 16 - 4.3 - 7 - 84.7
315 - 37.5 - 21 - 4.3 - 5 - 65.7
.
1999 KSU is the last one. 
Nuts.

Even the great 2001 Miami team's 5 TD passes allowed and 27 INTs yield a higher opp pass rating than 1999 KSU. 
Double nuts.
