This week, SOHO will pour a 2008 Casa Lapostolle ‘Cuvee Alexandre’ Chardonnay from Chile. The Chardonnay offers aromas of sweet citrus fruit, white flowers, fresh tropical fruits and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine features good acidity and a long finish. Next, SOHO will pour a 2007 Tikal Patriota Bonarda/Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina. This red blend earned 92 points from Wine Advocate and offers aromas of spice box, black cherry and blueberry. On the palate, the wine is complex and rich.

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2007 Montes Alpha Syrah from Chile. The 2007 Syrah offers a big nose, with smoky and spicy aromas. On the palate, the wine is dry with flavors of berry fruit. Winemaker Aurelio Montes added Viognier to the blend, giving the wine a delicate touch.

SOHO’s executive chef, Joe Ahn, has prepared three new tapas plates to complement each South American wine. The following will be available until Wednesday, October 6.

art, Atlanta, food, SOHO

At SOHO, guests will find not only food to please the palate, but artwork aimed at pleasing the eye. Recently, we've updated the art adorning the restaurant walls and the fantastic pieces each add the ambiance of the restaurant.

The contemporary portraits of Cheryl Burgess greet guests as they enter the restaurant. Her large-scale "ladies" series features works such as "Lady with Flowers" and "Lady with Hat."

Guests dining in the bar will find the work of local contemporary figurative artist Priscilla Nelson catching their eye. The majority of Nelson’s work explores textiles and clothing, and how they convey moods and attitudes. Nelson says that her early inspiration came from her love of “people watching” and studying how individuals are able to exude such varied attitudes through what they wear or don’t wear. Two of Nelson's pieces, "Golden Girl" and "Moonlight Chill", currently hang at SOHO.

Guests dining in SOHO's sunny "Pace Room" will find the art of Atlanta artist Laura Bowman and her "Angels" series. The themes of Laura's work include independence, repetition, isolation and the spiritual co-existence between nature and mankind. Laura's unique style blends texture and multi-layered compositions with monochromatic hues and carefully selected color.

Please join us at SOHO soon to soak up the atmosphere provided by wonderful local artists.

If you’re planning an evening out, we hope you’ll consider SOHO, located only 1.2 miles from the Cobb Energy Centre, for dining before or after a performance. SOHO will be offering a pre-fixe theater menu for guests enjoying a performance this season. For $28, diners can enjoy an appetizer, entrée and dessert.
