SOHO finishes a tour of French wines and flavors this week on flight night, Wednesday, May 26.
Vineyards in Chateaunefu-du-Pape
First, SOHO will pour a 2007 Domaine Tourmaline Musdacet de Sevre-et-Maine from Loire. SOHO’s resident wine expert Lars Snavely notes the wine is crisp, with tastes of mineral and big flavors of lemon and lime. It will pair nicely with the oyster tapas created by Chef Joe, so if you’re dining with us this week, please consider trying both!
Next, SOHO will pour a 2008 Domaine Courtois La Source from Cotes du Rhone. This wine, a blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah, offers tastes of fruit and soft tannins. Finally, SOHO will offer a 2005 Chateau Vaudieu from Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Produced from very old vines, the wine offers dark, complex flavors, good acid, and a long finish.
SOHO’s Chef Joe has prepared three new tapas plates to complement each French wine. The following will be available until Wednesday, June 2:
2007 Domaine Tourmaline Muscadet de Sevre-et-Maine,Loire, France
