In the wine business, the difference between a $10 bottle and a $40 bottle often comes down to one thing: who you know.
The people behind Waccamaw Proprietary Red spent years working alongside legends like Eric Solomon and Martine Saunier. If you don't know those names, here's the short version: Eric Solomon founded European Cellars right here in Charlotte, was named Robert Parker's Wine Personality of the Year, and built his career finding world-class producers before anyone else caught on - places like Domaine de la Janasse, Marcoux, and Clos Erasmus. The guy started as a rock drummer in London and ended up becoming one of the most respected importers in America. Martine Saunier was the first woman to import Burgundy into the US. She introduced American wine drinkers to Henri Jayer - now one of the most expensive and sought-after producers on the planet - and Domaine Leroy, and Château Rayas. She drove around France in a VW Bug in 1969 knocking on cellar doors when nobody else was paying attention.
When you spend years working with people like that, you learn where the good stuff is. You build relationships. You get phone calls that other people don't get.
Waccamaw is a Cabernet blend that punches way above its weight. Black cherry at the center, layered fruit, enough structure to be interesting but soft enough tannins that you can open it tonight without planning ahead. It drinks like something twice the price - which is exactly what happens when people with real connections source fruit that most producers never get a shot at.
At $12.99, this is the bottle you open on a Tuesday. It's the bottle you put out when guests show up early and you don't want to burn through the wines you bought FOR dinner BEFORE dinner 😂. It's the bottle you buy a case of and don't overthink.
You know how these things go.
I know what I'm drinking tonight! Let's do this!
