From a quick search on WineZap, it looks like you can buy Solaz at Mad Wine in Bellevue for $6.99 a bottle. Let me know what you think of it.
Cheers

I’d bet than any well stocked wine store should have it in your area.

July 12, 2006 at 4:40 pmWOW!!!! We ordered cases of this wine for my son’s wedding. Then we watched (and laughed) as guest after guest started asking the bartenders for the empty bottles. They wanted to take the bottles home for reference. At $5.00 a bottle this is one of the best reds I have ever tasted at any prince.

July 12, 2006 at 4:55 pmSomehow many inexpensive Tempranillo have this effect, Maureen. Looks like the 2004 is now starting to show up in distribution here in the U.S. so it’s about time to try it once again… glad your guests enjoyed it!
