Time to roll out some new vintages of some wines from our favorite portfolio - Eric Solomon Selections. Included in this tasting on the machine is the arrival of the new vintage of 2012 Bastide Miraflors, the breakout hit wine of 2013 (more on that tomorrow). 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, Benjamin Romeo, Clos Erasmus, La Peira, Janasse, Herencia Altes, Mas Doix, Lafage, Closa Batllet, Chateau Tirecul, AALTO) ...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. The wines will be up on the machine all day Saturday (and a few are already up!). We'll have some special deals running on most of these wines, so we hope to see you this Saturday!
Cheers!
