Daou Vineyards ‘Soul of a Lion’ Cabernet
Daou Vineyards
I wanted to share a truly exquisite wine with you gentelmen today, the DAOU 2017 Estate Soul of a Lion. DAOU Vinedards describes this as a ‘balance, elegent, and rich wine’ with ‘smooth and silky tannins’ which integrate perfectly with the fruit for an extended finish. This wine is named after the Daou Brothers’ father who ‘carried strength, integrity and perseverance wherever he went.’ That’s the kicker for me. If you are a craftsman of any sort and you’ve created something so exquisite that you are willing to name it after your father then you’re damn sure that you have a world-class creation on your hands.
This wine retails for around $125 which means you might not be drinking this wine every night of the week but if you want to treat yourself to something special, this wine is it. And for a more affordable wine you can check out DAOU’s 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon which sells for $28 and has notes of dark cherry, subtle mocha, truffles, and pure blackberry.
Bulleit Bourbon Blenders’ Select No. 001
Bulleit
The all-new Bulleit Bourbon Blenders’ Select No. 001 is the newest relese from Bulleit Distilling Co. and already it has secured a Gold Medal at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This was creatd by Bulleit Blender Eboni Jamor and it mingles 3 of the 10 whiskeys that comprise Bulleit’s original recipe.
This whiskey is said to carry notes of honey, dried fruit, toasted oak, vanilla bean and it has a smooth finish of fruit wine decadance. They suggest you enjoy the Bulleit Bourbon Blenders’ Select No. 001 neat, on the rocks, or mixed in an Old Fashioned. Really, it’s good to go however you prefer.
You can order the Blenders’ Select via Drizly at a suggested Retail Price is $49.99 (750mL).
Braun All-In-One Trimmer
Braun
The Braun All-In-One Trimmer is a truly spectacular innovation in men’s grooming. It’s a 9-in-1 trimmer that includes a beard trimmer, hair trimmer, ear and nose trimmer, body hair trimmer, detailer, and more. There’s no sense in having multiple grooming gadgets in your bathroom when you can roll them all up into this incredible one device.
This is a perfect gift for dad or present to yourself. Generally speaking, I know a lot of guys out there have let it go a bit over the past few months and this is a perfect way to get that body hair managed and looking fresh again. You can pick it up on Amazon by following that ‘shop now’ button below.
Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
Bose
Futuristic noise cancellation is maybe the 700s most impressive feature. You can personalize your environment with 11 levels of noise cancellation. As you increase the noise cancellation from 1 to 11, you incrementally minimize the most invasive work from home distractions—like the dishwasher, or Jim cutting his grass for the third time this week, or my roommate blabbing about something or another.
Some Essential Daily Upgrades
Here we check out a unique everyday carry pocket knife from Deejo Knives which features a dope custom blade tattoo. These are some of the most customizable knives on the planet, they are super light, and ideal for everyday carry. They allow you to pick a unique ‘tattoo’ to make the knife your own as well as choosing the blade and handle features.

Glorious Throwback 90s Teva Sandals
Teva
These ‘Original Universal’ Teva sandals in a 90s throwback multi-color scheme are pure gasoline. This fire makes me want to fire up some old episodes of In Living Color because it almost appears as if they scraped the show’s intro and distilled it down into a pair of sandals. The colors work perfectly.
These throwback ‘Original Universal’ Teva sandals make me want to drive up to the Nantahala Outdoor Center in North Carolina and do some whitewater rafting. And stop at McDonald’s on the way to get a Happy Meal with a toy. Truly, Teva has captured the essence of the early 90s with these throwbacks and for that reason, I’m calling these the hottest drop of Summer 2020.

Sick New Gear This Week
Here we’ve got ‘Worry-Free Deodorant’ from Each & Every which uses simple, clean ingredients like coconut oil and Dead Sea salts to fight odor all-day. One thing that’s particularly great about this deodorant in addition to it being better for your skin and body than normal off-the-shelf deodorants is this company uses energizing scents that pick you up when you need it. This will keep you odor-free all day long but have you smelling (and probably feeling) better than you’re used to.

Easily Portable Charcoal Grill
Hero Grill / Huckberry
When you’re looking at The Hero Grill what you’re actually seeing is the reusable grill grate and the instant-light charcoal pods that slip underneath. The grill grate can be used thousands of times and the refillable charcoal pods give you a full 60-minutes of cooking each time. Once they’ve burned out over an hour later these fully combustible pods can be composted so you’re not leaving behind any trash at the campsite. Sounds awesome, right? Well, the Hero Grill is only $60 and for $100 you can get the grill + a carrying case that makes it even easier to camp with. You can also load up on the refillable Charcoal Pods right here.

Backyard BBQ
Here we’ve got the Meater+ Wireless Meat Thermometer which is a grilling tool I’ve used since the day it was released, and one I’ve featured here on BroBible in the past because I stand by how incredible the Meater+ is. Seriously, I rarely run my smoker without using the Meater+ because it helps me achieve a perfect temperature every time. the built-in Bluetooth repeater in the charger extends the range of the Meater+ to a whopping 165-feet. There are no wires whatsoever and you an monitor everything on the Meater smartphone app to make sure you never overcook your meat. If you treat yourself to something new today is should be the Meater+ Wireless Meat Thermometer.

Lightweight Polarized Sunglasses Are Only $35
huckberry
Today is an excellent day to refresh your sunglasses. These lightweight polarized sunglasses from Huckberry are only $35, they come in multiple colors, and the classic styles will frame your face perfectly without looking out of place.
The two styles of shades we’re looking at here are the Huckberry Weekenders and the Cruisers. Each retails for $35 but there’s a higher-end option for $45 which is still like 1/4 of the cost you can get stuck paying if you go down to the mall for sunglasses. In fact, you can buy every style of these awesome sunglasses and still spend less than you might fork over at the mall. This is a win-win.
Janji Running Gear For Men
Janji
I’ve taken my running to the next level lately. Years ago, I was running 3-5 miles a day, five days a week. Then I tore my meniscus (again) and went the better part of the last decade without running regularly and have been hitting the Peloton hard. Now I’m cycling in about 3 runs a week and I’ve been absolutely loving Janji Running gear lately. I have this hat, singlet, and these shorts. The hat is quick-drying and has a DWR finish to keep the sweat out of my eyes.
The singlet is a game-changer for me because it’s so hot outside in Florida I’ve been able to stop myself from overheating with the freedom this provides without sleeves. Sure, this is something a serious running would wear and not often someone like myself but I cannot recommend this enough for Summer running. The shorts are spectacular as well. They are liner-less which means you can go ‘guerilla-style’ out there and let it all hang out while running or you can wear compression shorts like I do sometimes. The stretch fabric gives you a full range of motion and these are also DWR coated so they dry quickly.

YETI Roadie 24 Hard Cooler
YETI
I’m consistently blown away by how season after season, YETI Coolers improves their best-in-class coolers. The all-new YETI Roadie 24 Hard Cooler fits a niche that is very much needed in my daily life. It’s the perfect cooler for tossing in the truck/car and on the boat where it can double as a seat. It is also the perfect height for using as a seat while tailgating, camping, or drinking in the driveway with the neighbors like I’ve been doing for the past few weeks.
The new YETI Roadie 24 Hard Cooler is now 10% lighter, holds 20% more ice/beer/drinks, and has 30% better thermal retention than its predecessor. This also comes in a great sweet spot in terms of price ($199 on YETI’s website) and comes in Navy, White, Desert Tan, and a clean looking Charcoal. Dare I say this is the only thing dad wants for Father’s Day this year? It can sit next to him in the passenger’s seat of the car (or backseat), on the floor of the golf cart, or anywhere else dad wants to crush ice-cold beers while keeping a sandwich cold. Dads love YETIs and you can scoop this one by following that ‘shop now’ button below.
