We’re in the thick of Atlanta summer now, and weary from the heat. After long days of working and sitting in traffic, we need something to look forward to, and Sonoma wines are just the ticket! This week, we have a pinot noir, a merlot, and a beautiful red blend to share with you, to make your summer woes a little more palatable. Also, these 3 paired tapas are AMAZING, so if you’re not coming hungry, then you’re doing yourself a disservice!

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday, August 8th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through August 14th.

First, SOHO will pour a Banshee Pinot Noir 2016 from Sonoma County. The winemaker offers,

“The 2016 edition is an exciting, yet friendly wine, bursting at the seams with aromas of macerated wild berries and an elegant, soft earth undertone. The flavors combine both sweet and tart, reminiscent of Santa Rosa plums and wild blackberries that grow so commonly in Sonoma Wine Country. The finish is bright, slightly herbal, and savory making this an excellent food wine, as well as a charming drinking experience by itself.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Bench Knights Valley Merlot 2016 from Knights Valley. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Brilliant ruby red hue, the nose is expressive with cherry cream, blackberry reduction and cedar. The palate is creamy and lush, flavors of pie crust, dark forest fruits and tangy Marion-berries meld together on a lasting, elegant finish.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Highway 12 Red Blend 2015 from Sonoma County. Notes on the wine,

“A fruity, leathery nose offers a glimpse into what unfolds on the palate. Hefty bright notes of ripe plum, currant jelly and a tinge of sweet tobacco fill the senses with the first sip. As this breathes, it morphs into something exceptionally smooth and round, a result of the introduction of soft tannins and lightly burnt toffee oak. The fig jam finish lingers but just long enough to go in for the next sip.”

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

Welcome back to the U.S. of A! We are so lucky to have the region of Sonoma in our country, and all the varietals of wine available to us.  Is one month really enough time to explore this fully? No, but we can have a great trying! We hope you love our Sonoma selections for the month of August, and their perfectly paired tapas from Chef Joe too.

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday, August 2nd, and the wines and their tapas will be available through August 8th.

First, SOHO will pour a Mac Rostie Chardonnay 2015 from Sonoma Coast. The winemaker offers,

“The wine begins with a beautifully fragrant nose of pineapple, mango and guava. On the palate, the tropical fruit elements mingle with lively citrus layers as well as hints of spice from aging in French oak. The finish is clean, refreshing and quickly invites another taste.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Windracer Pinot Noir 2014 from Russian River. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Aromas of dark cherry, mocha, and sassafras immediately introduces you to the bold personality of the Russian River Valley. The robust aromas give way to rich black plums followed by dark chocolate nuances. Perfectly balanced, the full-bodied structure displays great concentration and firm but refined tannins. This lush mouthfeel showcases the lively characteristics and quality the Russian River Valley is known for.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Knuttel Family Cabernet 2015 from Dry Creek Valley. Notes on the wine,

“Aromas of black cherry and ripe plum mesh with blackberry spice and violets. Flavors explode on the palate, with velvety tannins and elegant acidity seamlessly integrated into the finish. The balance of the wine makes it extremely versatile, pairing equally well with salads and cheeses as well as grilled vegetables and roasted red meats.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Famille Perrin Chùteauneuf du Pape Les Sinards 2015 from Chateauneuf du Pape. Notes on the wine,

“2015 is an exceptional vintage in the appellation. This wine expresses marvelously the beauty of the vintage. Intense red with purple reflections, Les Sinards 2015 expresses an intense bouquet of red and black fruit, sweet spices, noble wood and mineral notes. The mouth is incredibly balanced between freshness and volume, the tannins are fine and elegant, the finish is very long, aromatic, and sweet.

Next, SOHO will pour a Chateau De Saint Cosme CĂŽtes du RhĂŽne – Les Deux Albion 2016 from Rhone. The wine is described by the winemaker,

Want to jump over to France and enjoy a month full of magnificent wines and cuisine? Yeah, us too! But if you’re like the rest of us who can’t just leave their jobs and travel abroad, then let’s think outside the box, shall we?

SOHO is featuring our favorite French wines for the month of July, and we couldn’t be happier! You can stick close to home, but still enjoy the best parts of France without the sting of airfare and jet lag.  Sound good?

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday, July 11th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through July 17th.

classic_french_vineyards

First, SOHO will pour a Bieler Pere et Fils Rosé 2017 from Provence. The winemaker offers,

“Bieler Pere et Fils Rose tastes like biting into a freesia-infused apple in a sexy-hippy version of the garden of Eden. It’s clean, light taste seems to promise that attractive strangers are about to drape your body in crisp, sun-dried linen before leading you to a hammock where sultry events will unfold. And with this Rose you don’t have to worry about morning-after guilt, because one sip will make even regret taste sweet.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Domaine de La Prébende Beaujolais 2016 from Beaujolais. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“The Anna Asmaquer Beaujolais is an old vines blend with profound minerality, a bright wild berry nose, and possesses typique Beaujolais finesse. The grapes are harvested manually and vinified completely without sulp[her dioxide. The wines are not chaptalized, filtered, or degassed and only natural yeasts are used for the fermentation. La PrĂ©bende crafts one of the best Beaujolais AOC values available today.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Chateau Saint-Andre Corbin St Georges-St Emilion 2015 from St Emilion, Bordeaux. Notes on the wine,

First, SOHO will pour a Ezzazuriz MAX Carmenere 2015 from Aconcagua Valley, Chile. The winemaker offers,

“The 2015 vintage of our Max Reserva Carmenere displays a beautiful ruby red color. On the nose, aromas of red roasted pepper, tobacco, dill, and mushrooms are complimented by a subtle note of blackberries and cherries. On the palate, the wine shows fresh and delicate flavors of cherry and plum complimented by a touch of spice, chocolate and roasted coffee beans. The wine is well balanced with mouth-watering acidity and round, soft tannins.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Piatelli Premium Reserve Malbec 2016 from Mendoza, Argentina. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Intensely aromatic on the nose. Aromas of blueberries, plums, & blackberries. Extremely well balanced fruit to acidity balance. This is a medium to heavy weight wine. Mouth-filling, and smooth finish.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Haras de Pirque Character Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 from Maipo Valley, Chile. Notes on the wine,

“Currant, raspberry, and some forest floor in the nose, also an herbaceous/minty quality.  Dark berries on the palate; and a nice soft mouthfeel with good body and tannic structure. Had a good, lasting finish with spice and more herbs, and mild oakiness throughout.

First, SOHO will pour a Bodega Colomé Torrontes 2017 from Calchaquí Valley, Salta, Argentina. The winemaker offers,

“Intense gold in colour with green tones, this wine has a bright floral nose with the citrus aroma of grapefruit and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is fresh and well structured with a crisp finish. This wine is elegant and fruity with tropical notes to the fore.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Altamana Grande Reserve Malbec ‘14 from Maule, Central Valley, Chile. The wine is described by the winemaker,

Next, SOHO will pour a Flora Springs Merlot 2013 from Napa. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“The 2014 vintage unfolds with inviting aromas of dark plum and black cherry and hints of cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon spice. In the mouth the deep purple fruit flavors unfurl on a richly textured palate, joined by notes of sassafras, baked pie crust and dusty cocoa. A judicious touch of oak adds a toasty vanilla accent to the wine, and its long finish carries a tinge of sweet tobacco and dark chocolate.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Trefethen Oak Knoll Cabernet 2015 from Napa. Notes on the wine,

“Deep ruby in color, this exquisite Cabernet Sauvignon opens with fragrant notes of blackberry, bay leaf, coffee and chocolate. The palate is supported by velvety tannins and features flavors that tend more towards red cherries and baking spices.”

First, SOHO will pour a Cornerstone Sauvignon Blanc 2016 from Napa Valley. The winemaker offers,

“Intense aromas of ripe melon, white peaches and pineapple, with just a hint of summer jasmine. First sip is round and juicy with layers of ripe tropical fruit flavors. This dry white wine also has a little bit of the Musque clone, which adds complexity and a hint of sweet fruit.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Jax Vineyard Y3 Taureau 2015 from Napa. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Ruby purple in color, with loads of black cherry and briary black currant fruit, the wine is meaty and refreshing, with hints of mocha and earth.
