what the osborne?

This is my first post on eg, although I'm a longtime lurker. I don't understand why not terribley many NY (Manhattan) wine stores carry Osborne Solaz, which, if it were availible woule be one of my preferrec cheap but decent wines? The thing that seems strange to me is that many storescarry Osborne Ports, but I don't understand liquor laws or anything that would ake them less likely to import the Solaz. As far as I know, through internet searches, Union Square used to carry Osborne at ~$15, but not longer shows up. How can we rectify this situation?

Wow - the Osborne Solaz is my very favorite "in-a-pinch" inexpensive wine to always have on hand. I've posted about it before, and am happy to see another eGulleteer that is fond of it. I think it's a tremendous value for the price.

Total Wines in Cherry Hill, NJ carries it for $6.99/bottle and that is where I have always purchased it. I believe they have other stores in the North Jersey vicinity, although I don't believe there is a store in New York. Their website is Here Perhaps a trip over the bridge to the wilds of NJ would be worth it?

check out wine-searcher.com to find most any wine anywhere. It's $5.67/bottle at Pop's and $6.95 at Sherry Lehmann.

Congrats on your first post

Thanks for the replies. Now if only there were some places downtown, or a pipeline directly from Espana to my apartment.

Osborne (pronounced Oz-Bore-nay), aside from being one of the top shrerry producers, makes a great Spanish brandy as well.
