We show Charlotte based importer Eric
Solomon Selections some serious love here at winestore., but there is
very good reason. There are lots of folks who import wines; and Solomon
is one of the most revered and influential wine importers in the
business today. His wine portfolio from Spain and France is scary good,
especially if you are an importer trying to compete with him. His
amazing stable of wines includes Marcoux, AALTO, Clos Erasmus,
Mustiguillo, Clos D'Agon, Lafage, Mas D'en Compte, Garrigue, Janasse,
Chateau Tirecul, ...and the list goes on and on. These properties are
all the rage at the moment among the critics, and for good reason. They
make utterly lush and delicious wines, and yet they are not wines that
have sold their souls (ya know, with high alcohol, over-extraction, too
much oak and the like) in order to get blessedly high scores from
he-who-must-not-be-named. These wines are rich and impressive, but they not only retain their souls, they HAVE soul. Character. Personality. Whatever.
Solomon's book is an embarrassment of riches. We are delighted that he lives in Charlotte and that we have the opportunity to offer so many of his fabulous wines. And we are even more excited to show you the breadth and depth of his portfolio this weekend with some NEW arrivals. The wines will be up on the machine all day Saturday (and a few are already up!). We hope to see you!!
Just some of the SPECIAL DEALS:
2010 Garrigue Vacqueyras
Release Price: $24.99
Winestore Price: $17.95 (net)
SAVE 28%
As delicious and special as the wines are, my love of Domaine la Garrigue is based as much upon my memory of the place as it is upon the character of the wine they produce. The Bernard family who own La Garrigue also own the beautiful inn and restaurant Les Florets, one of my favorite spots in that glorious region. Oh, yeah, the wine rocks.
2010 Clos D'Agon "Amic"
Release Price: $24.99
Winestore Price: $19.99 (net)
SAVE 20%
Let’s see, one of the world’s greatest winemakers, Peter Sisseck, blends two thirds Garnacha with Merlot, Cab and Syrah (okay, a squirt of Monastrell); and grows it in soils that mix limestone and schist like some unholy coupling of Priorat and Burgundy on the Spanish coast across the border from France. Drink.
2009 Mas D'en Compte Priorat
Release Price: $34.99
SALE Price: $24.99 (net)
SAVE 29%
Priorat is a wine for people who think Chateauneuf-du-Pape is too timid, too small and too easy to drink. But Joan Sangenis, Mas D'en Compte's winemaker, crafts Priorat that seems more like Chateauneuf than many of the other Priorats, with Garnacha, Carinena and a dash of Cabernet.
2010 Lafage Tessellae
Regular Price: $14.99
Winestore Price: $12.99
SAVE 13%
Everything Eric Solomon touches is seemingly gold and this little beauty is no exception: 100% Carignan from half century and older vines.
