The recent chilly bite in the air in Atlanta has made us want to hibernate (with wine of course) as we enter into holiday season mode.  Fall is such a great time of year here, with a few patio days sprinkled in for optimal foliage watching, coupled with wine drinking!

Our wine feature this next two weeks illustrates the perfect drinking choice: A lovely Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from New Zealand, and a complex Cab from Australia.  The tapas pairings are on point as well, and we would encourage you to stop by to say hello, and take a moment to enjoy life before the holiday craziness hits.  We look forward to seeing you!

This Flight Night begins on Wednesday, November 14th, will last two weeks, and the wines and their tapas will be available through November 27th.

First, SOHO will pour a Esk Valley Hawkes Bay Chardonnay ‘16 from Hawkes Bay, N.Z.. The winemaker offers,

Next, SOHO will pour a Neudorf Tom’s Block Pinot Noir 2014 from Nelson, N.Z. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Fragrant with hints of violets and chocolate supported by elegant restrained tannins.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Franklin Tate Alexander’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 from Margaret River. Notes on the wine,

“Appearance: Medium to deep red with a deep purple hue. Nose: This wine shows aromatic red fruits, mint, spice and savory leafy eucalypt characters and a hint of dark chocolate. Palate: Complex pretty fruits with flavors of blackberry and raspberry are complimented with toasty oak. The mid palate has fine grained tannins, which gives length and finesse to the wine.”

Vegetarian tapas with wine pairings? This took even us by surprise when our Chef, Joey chose the theme this week! But what a great surprise it is, as vegetarian food often gets a bad rap.

.

First, SOHO will pour a Panther Creek Pinot Noir 2016 from Willamette Valley, OR . The winemaker offers,

“Though it was an intense growing season due to the early start, the fruit produced throughout Oregon resulted in wonderful concentration and complexity with characteristic natural acidity. This wine showcases lots of strawberry and black cherry notes, with a hint of tobacco leaf. The finish is well balanced by elegant tannins, followed by a touch of black pepper and cranberry.”

Next, SOHO will pour a DLD Red Mountain Syrah 2013 from Red Mountain AVA, WA. .The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Dark purple, almost black color. Dried fig and blueberry compote. Chocolate cherry, black licorice and cinnamon spice.

The finish is long and very well structured.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Dusted Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 from Columbia Valley, WA. Notes on the wine,

“This is just a spectacular Cabernet Sauvignon from the Columbia Valley! This medium bodied wine is both lithe and expressive, with embracing tannins wrapping gently around a focused core of dried herb-accented black cherry and licorice flavors, dancing with finesse on the finish.”

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,
