Spanish wine is a bargain, right? It’s been that way for decades, though it’s only been in the last ten or fifteen years that the wider world has dropped some in their gullets and said, wait, this costs how much? Certainly, less than it should. It doesn't take geniuses to notice it, so we’re not making any claims to our own brilliance. In the case of this Garnacha Tintorera, we’re pretty sure we’ve found what may be the best sub $20 wine we have ever tasted. Spain has done it again!

Evodia
This new project from Charlotte based importer Eric Solomon is a standout. Grenache from 90 year old vines that, once you taste it, will give you an idea of why Eric Solomon has celebrity stature in the wine business. At less than $10 a bottle this is a must try.

Excelsior Cabernet
Full bodied and extremely tasty Cabernet for less than $8 - that combo works!

Fattoria di Sammontana Chianti
Next door to Fattoria di Sammontana is a 12th century Romanesque church that used to belong to the Medicis, Dukes of Tuscany. The farm portion of the property included a furnace for pottery, but as a Tuscan farm should, eventually it was bought by owners who turned their attention to olives and, even more importantly to us, wine. It’s now managed by the fourth generation and this organic and biodynamic farm is just west of Florence, in the Colli Fiorentini sub-region of Chianti.

Filus Malbec
Filus is a true expression of the Mendoza region: very dark; deeply fruited with ripe, dense plum and cassis fruit; complex and fragrant and exotic, with a beautiful long finish. And like the best malbecs, its power is tempered by a haunting lightness in the mouth. We were simply blown away by this wine the first time we tried it!

Fleuraison Blanc de Blancs
Sparkling wine is made anywhere; it’s only certain places that it has become famous. Champagne is special because of its chalk soils (along with its well-established old vineyards). Meanwhile other places in France continue to make less exalted and expensive sparkling wines, even as far south as Languedoc-Roussillon. They have younger limestone soils that add nerve to wines like this blend of 80% Airen (Spain’s ubiquitous grape) and 20% Chardonnay; it’s super clean and vibrant.

Fruitiere Muscadet
For a "light" wine, Muscadet is an intense wine: mineral-rich, lemony to the point of raciness, the kind of wine that people imagine having with oysters. But it works with virtually any other kind of shellfish.

Garoloup Lesson 02
The blend here is Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre and I honestly would encourage anyone who likes big red wine to give this a try. I think / hope you will be as stunned as we were the first time we tasted it.

Gramona Gessami
One of the coolest wines you've never heard of, the Gessami bottling is a lip-smackingly dry blend of Muscat and Sauvignon Blanc. Gramona is the best cava producer, period, but it turns out they can make lovely still wine too.
Type, Body & Flavor
Gramona Gran Cuvee
Alongside Augusti Torello, Gramona is producing what are unquestionably the best cavas in Spain at this moment. The Gran Cuvee is far richer than your mama's cava.
