This time of year, (between Christmas and New Years) many people are often at a loss of what to do, how to feel, etc.  The finality of the year is experienced by everyone, whether you’re sad 2016 is over, or ready to usher in 2017, it’s still an awkward week for many!

Some advice?  Enjoy the calm after the storm.  Call friends and family members you’ve been meaning to catch up with.  Eat and drink before the New Years resolutions come flooding in, for January 1st is often a day of reckoning!

This week, we salute the final week of December 2016.  We complete our tour of SOHO’s best performing wines of 2016, and this week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday December 28th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through January 4th.

First, SOHO will pour a 2011 El Enemigo Cabernet Franc, from Mendoza, Argentina, and offers the following tasting notes,

“The nose has intense aromas and concentrated notes of cassis, ripe currants, and sweet spices including black pepper and cloves. Fresh impact and excellent structure on the palate, reminiscent of ripe red fruits with hints of eucalyptus and tagged black pepper. This wine has an excellent balance and elegance with a well-structured, persistent finish.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2013 Browne Tribute Red Blend from Columbia Valley.  The wine is described as,

“This silky red blend offers big fruit flavors and well-integrated, velvety tannins. Aromatics of pipe tobacco, leather and dark fruit layer with ripe boysenberry flavors and a hint of black pepper.  The finish lingers with blackberry jam and toasty, graphite back notes.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2010 Piccini Villa Al Cortile Brunello di Montalcino from Montalcino, Tuscany.  The winemaker says,

“Tasting notes: Almost impenetrable dark red color, sustained and round with complex notes of liquorice and ripe black cherry, both powerful and classy. Full, ripe, spicy black-skinned fruit on the palate, smooth tannins expose great elegance. Chest-nutty fruit long aftertaste.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef, Jeff Sigler, has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines!

2011 El Enemigo Cabernet Franc
92% Cab Franc, 8% Malbec
Paired with: Smoked Duck Breast, Brussels Sprouts, Potato Hash, Beet Purée

2013 Browne Tribute Red Blend
32% Cab, 11% Malbec, 38% Merlot, 5% Cab Franc, 11% Petit Verdot, 3% Syrah
Paired with: Pork Tenderloin, Sautéed Apples & Cabbage

2010 Piccini Villa Al Cortile Brunello di Montalcino
100% Sangiovese Grosso
Paired with: Veal and Pork Meatball, Marinara Sauce

Sample each wine in a flight (three three-ounce glasses) for $14.25. Or, pair the flight with a tapa plate for $19. Try a full glass of wine and tapa plate for $13. Of course, the wines and tapas are available individually as well ($9.50/glass and $6.50/tapas).

Wishing you all a very happy & healthy 2017!

It’s finally cold in Atlanta, (just in time for Christmas) and many of us are drinking delicious reds, eating richer dishes, and generally enjoying the beauty of the season.  This is an amazing time at SOHO, as we get to reflect on our wonderful year, and begin to make new plans for wine and cuisine in 2017.

As we roll through December, we bring back the most popular wines of the year to make their final showing!  This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday December 21st, and the wines and their tapas will be available through December 27th.

First, SOHO will pour a 2010 L’ Arco Rosso del Veronese, from Rosso del Veronese IGT, and offers the following tasting notes,

“This medium bodied red is laced with dark cherries, tobacco and a hint of lavender supported by gripping tannins and a lengthy finish.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2007 Bodegas Palacio Especial Reserva from Rioja, Spain.  The wine is described as,

“Color: Deep ruby red. Aroma: Complex combination of ripe fruit and well integrated oak. Taste: Rich and smooth with great length and finesse.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2013 Trig Point Diamond Dust Merlot from Alexander Valley.  The winemaker says,

“The Diamond Dust Vineyard, located just north of Healdsburg, produces marvelously rich and supple Merlot. The micro climate is of critical importance. Summer mornings are usually foggy and very cool but warm sunshine follows and mid-90’s temperatures are common in the afternoons. Most evenings the fog rolls in again and the vineyards cool down to the mid-40s.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef, Jeff Sigler, has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines!

2010 L’ Arco Rosso del Veronese
50% Corvina and Corvinone, 30% Rondinella, 15% Sangiovese, 5% Molinara
Paired with: Manchego Stuffed Medjool Dates, Grapes, Honey & Herbs

2007 Bodegas Palacio Especial Reserva
100% Tempranillo
Paired with: Bresaola Carpaccio, Shaved Parmesan, Capers, Shallots, Creamy Dijon

2013 Trig Point Diamond Dust Merlot
100% Merlot
Paired with: Spanish Chorizo & Chocolate on Toast

Sample each wine in a flight (three three-ounce glasses) for $14.25. Or, pair the flight with a tapa plate for $19. Try a full glass of wine and tapa plate for $13. Of course, the wines and tapas are available individually as well ($9.50/glass and $6.50/tapas).

Have a very happy holiday from our family to yours!

One of our favorite quotes is actually a line out of the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith: in which Brad Pitt states, “Sometimes in the end, you start thinking about the beginning.” This true for our December reflections, and of SOHO’s Flight Nights this month!

In December, we bring back the most popular wines of the year to make their final showing, and we begin to look forward to what 2017 will bring us!  This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday December 14th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through December 20th.

First, SOHO will pour a 2013 Waterbrook Reserve Malbec, from Columbia Valley, and offers the following tasting notes,

“The wine offers aromas and flavors of blackberry cobbler and boysenberry preserves. Elegant tannins and a lingering finish of chocolate and sweet oak make this a very approachable wine.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2014 Le Volte Dell ’Ornellaia from Bolgheri.  The wine is described as,

“The late ripening of the grapes have made it possible to express the crispness and freshness of the fruit to best effect. What is striking is the high quality of the tannins on the palate: silky, refined and without any sharp edges, albeit with a lower density than in hotter vintages. Le Volte dell’Ornellaia is a balanced, harmonious and very drinkable wine thanks in particular to the beautiful Merlots of 2014.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2013 Justin Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles.  The winemaker says,

“Classic Cabernet flavors with moderate plus blackcurrant, cherry fruit and baking spice flavors on the entry. Sweet tobacco and savory herbal notes arrive on the mid-palate, along with beautifully balanced tannins that provide a structure that supports the wine through its perfectly balanced, clean finish.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef, Jeff Sigler, has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines!

2013 Waterbrook Reserve Malbac
100% Malbac
Paired with: Grilled Flatbread, Cana de Cabra, Strawberry, Basil, Balsamic

2014 Le Volte Dell ’Ornellaia
70% Merlot, 15% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
Paired with: Seared Duck Breast, Carrot Escabeche, Carrot Puree

2013 Justin Cabernet Sauvignon
100% Cabernet
Paired with: Short Rib Stuffed Piquillo Peppers, Cilantro, Peanuts

Sample each wine in a flight (three three-ounce glasses) for $14.25. Or, pair the flight with a tapa plate for $19. Try a full glass of wine and tapa plate for $13. Of course, the wines and tapas are available individually as well ($9.50/glass and $6.50/tapas).

We can’t wait to see you!

As we move into December in Atlanta, it gives us the opportunity to reflect on what an amazing year 2016 has been for us at SOHO.  We’ve experienced many changes, (resulting in growth) but the one thing that has remained constant is our love of wine!

In December, we bring back the most popular wines of the year to make their final showing, and we begin to look forward to what 2017 will bring us!  This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday December 7th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through December 13th.

First, SOHO will pour a 2014 Beaux Freres “Les Cousins” Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, and offers the following tasting notes,

“A bit darker, Medium ruby to red. The nose is of fresh red Oregon fruits & berries, a cherry aromatic is supported by more cola spice and a touch of subtle oak. This is a finesse styled Beaux Freres. Medium bodied with light-sweet tannins, very good purity and depth.  The texture here is beguiling as well.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2013 Cloisonne Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.  The wine is described as,

“A complex wine with layers of deep black fruits. Deep aromas of black cherry, cassis, black tea, cedar, cigar box, and cocoa. Long finish with baking spices on the palate. Gripping tannins that add structure and weight to this special wine. Aged for 27 months using 100% French oak to create a masterpiece.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2014 Notre Dame de Cousignac Châteauneuf du Pape from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône.  The winemaker says,

“Intense, yet elegant with red fruit aromas of cherry, raspberry, and black currant harmoniously balanced by black pepper, eucalyptus, and leather notes. A full-bodied wine with a delicate earthy component on the back palate and attractive tannins.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef, Jeff Sigler, has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines!
