The finale of Spanish vinos begins TONIGHT at Flight Night!🍷 What a wonderful way to end April: with 3 utterly delicious red wines, & Joey’s perfect tapas to munch on in gorgeous Atlanta weather. Patio, anyone?

This Flight Night begins on Wednesday, April 24th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through April 30th.

FrancoPouringonPatio

First, SOHO will pour a Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León Dehesa La Granja 2009 from Zamora, Spain.  The winemaker offers,

“ASPECT: Ripe wild-cherry red in color with an intense maroon rim. AROMA: Subtle hints of ripe red berries with smooth, rounded balsamic notes and traces of smoky, toasted elements. TASTE: A well-structured, potent, velvety, and fleshy wine in the mouth, boasting powerful, rounded tannins.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Tosalet Priorat 2014 from Priorat, Spain. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Clear deep dark purple color. Pure and very intense aromas reminiscent of red berry fruit such as cranberries, red cherries and raspberries combined with mineral notes of flint and hints of eucalyptus. The palate is dry, full bodied with rich concentrated juicy fruit, firm but ripe tannins and a refreshing acidity making this a great food wine that will age very well for 4-6 years.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Bodegas Langa, “ π “ Calatayud 2016 from Calatayud, Spain. Notes on the wine,

“Cherry red, very deep with purplish tints. Fragrant nose of mature red and black fruits. Elegant vintage aromas, with hints of cocoa and tobacco. Complex and elegant. Unctuous on the mouth, fat and very glyceric. Sweet tannins, round and velvety.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef Joey Zelinka has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines!

As we move deeper into April, we also dig into the true essence of Spain and its glorious wines with two Riojas and a Cava this week! The tapas are truly stand alone as well, but these authentic Spanish dishes are better enjoyed with their wine pairings! Overall, the entire Spanish wine flight with paired tapas is an extraordinary experience not to be missed. We do hope we see you this week!

This Flight Night begins on Wednesday, April 10th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through April 16th.

First, SOHO will pour a Cava Naveran, Cava Brut from Catalonia, Spain.  The winemaker offers,

“Pale green-tinged yellow. A suave, highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh citrus and orchard fruits and pungent flowers, and a suave floral note builds in the glass. Silky and penetrating on the palate, offering intense Meyer lemon and green apple flavors that deepen on the back half. The floral quality repeats on a long, nervy finish that shows very good clarity and final bite.”

Next, SOHO will pour a El Vino Prodigo “Placeres Sensoriales” Rioja 2016 from Rioja. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“An intense cherry color indicates that this is the maximum expression of tempranillo 100%, all natural, without any dressings or sophisticated elaborations, only grapes harvested from 40 year vines planted in vessel, unloaded in a concrete lake with a capacity of 1000 cantaras, and fermented for 10 days, with branch, without squeezing, completely whole grapes, with the aim of trying to do what our grandparents, when no enology, no technology and really wines only tasted wine.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Mariano J Locort Gran Reserva 2008 from Rioja. Notes on the wine,

“Red, with intense hues. The nose shows an aromatic intensity. To the palate it is velvety and elegant with a powerful finish.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef Joey Zelinka has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines!

Cava Naveran, Cava Brut  
Macabeo, Parellada, Chardonnay, and Xarel-lo

Flight Night at SOHO is obviously one of our favorite days of the week, but there is a way that it can only get better: the weather cooperates in Atlanta, and patio season begins! In true spanish style, our wines and tapas pairings are best enjoyed al fresco this particular time of the year; once winter is finally behind us, and before hot summers descend. So let’s raise a glass to perfect patio weather and delicious spanish wines this week! Won’t you join us?

This Flight Night begins on Wednesday, April 10th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through April 16th.

Viñedo de Emilio Rojo.

First, SOHO will pour a Gotas de Mar Rias Baixas Albarino 2017 from Rias Baixas.  The winemaker offers,

“Brilliant pale lemon color. Intense stringent aromas of peaches, white flowers, stony minerals and a hint of fresh sea breeze. The palate offers an energetic combination steely acidity with charming peachy fruit and stony minerals. It finishes clean with a mouth watering acidity and long complex persistency.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Bodegas Avancia Godello 2016 from Valdeorras. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Sourced from one of the oldest, most traditional vineyards planted in Valdeorras, Avancia Godello expresses the authenticity the history of Valdeorras and the oldest Godello clones in the world. A completely unique white wine that ages beautifully and has been recognized by Robert Parker as Spain’s best Godello. Godello was almost extinct at the end of the 1980’s, so it is extremely rare to find a Godello produced from a single vineyard planted in 1904.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Torres Ribera del Duero Celeste Crianza 2015 from the Ribera del duero. Notes on the wine,

“Cherry red color with garnet highlights. Delicious, voluptuous aroma of very ripe black fruit (blueberries) with fine roasted coffee and dried fruit (dried plum) notes. Dense, fleshy, with sensuous flavor sensations that are impressively persistent.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef Joey Zelinka has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines!

Gotas de Mar Rias Baixas Albarino 2017  
100% Albarino
Paired with: Gambas al Ajillo

Bodegas Avancia Godello 2016 
100% Godello
Paired with: Croquetas de Bacalao

Torres Ribera del Duero Celeste Crianza 2015
100% Tempranillo

If anyone does wine and tapas pairings well, it’s SPAIN! This month at SOHO, we are honoring this amazing country and it’s culinary gifts with wines from our favorite Spanish vineyards, and Chef Joey’s creative spin on tapas pairings. We think we’ve done it justice; feel free to stop by and tell us if you agree!

This Flight Night begins on Wednesday, April 3rd, and the wines and their tapas will be available through April 9th.

First, SOHO will pour a Domini de la Cartoixa Priorat Crosses ‘15 from Priorat, California.  The winemaker offers,

“Crossos is a wine with a cherry red colour of high intensity. Lovely aromas in which red and black fruits stand out; hints of balsamic, thyme, orange peel and species. Medium bodied and good intensity in the mouth, well balanced; where fruit and freshness are pleasantly expressed.”

Next, SOHO will pour a RK Rekaide Txacoli de Getaria 2016 from Txakoli de Getaria. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Txakoli is a young, fruity white wine. Of moderate strength (11º) and with a slight characteristic acidity, it is a highly unique, distinctive wine. It should be served chilled; that way, it gives off its full range of aromas along with tiny carbonic acid bubbles, which is the result of its characteristic winemaking process.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Bodegas Juan Gil Monastrell 2016 from the Jumilla. Notes on the wine,

“Deep purple/black color. Explosive aromas of ripe currant, red berries and smoked notes. Rich, powerful and voluminous on the attack, a huge mouthful of crème-de-cassis concentration, silken and juicy in the midpalate with excellent length and persistence,
and a long spicy well-balanced finish including toasted notes provided by the French
wood.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef Joey Zelinka has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines!

60% Grenache noir, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Carignan
