Simply Wine!

I discovered Eric Solomon wines in my all too short tenure in wine sales back in Michigan! They import awesome handcrafted wines at amzing prices. I put some of their wines up against similar wines cost 2 to 10 times as much.

These wines were basically unheard of, until Robert Parker gave the 01 Las Rocas ( Spanish Garanche) a 92 point rating. I think it was the first time, ever, a $7.99 bottle of wine was rated this high! Of course, because of that rating, this wine sells out, fast. It also now ranges in price from $8.99 to $15.99 per bottle.

Solomon has a great bunch of wines, below $15 that just have to be experienced to be appreciated. You have to search these wines out though, you won't find them on the shelves at just any wine store. They ARE worth the search though.

Some of the Solomon wines we recommend:

Las Rocas Garanche. A great "spicy" red that goes great with BBQ, a cheese spread and is great all by itself! $8.99, sells out FAST!

Novellum chardonnay A great unoaked chard from France. $9.99 bottle. A refreshing change from the Napa oak bomb chard!

Castano Hecula This one might go over $20 put I would put this smooth, spicy Spanish red against wines costing 5 times as much!

Castell de Remi Gotim Bru and Blanco A red and white that are under $10 each. Gotim Bru is a tempernello/cab blend goes with BBQ or a steak. The blanco is a sauv/chard blend that is a great way to get the party started!

Domaine la Garrigue A great Rhone wine for around $12!

They also have a bunch of amazing wines well over $20 bottle. However, we're trying to stay under $20 here! Give these try if you can find them, you won't be disappointed!
