beef-1In our quest to bring you unique wines and creative cuisine, the next stop on our journey this month is to pair different beautiful red wines with beef dishes! Take a look at what we’re up to, and make some time to come see us this week!

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

First, SOHO will pour a L’Arco Rosso del Veronese 2015 from Veneto, Italy. The winemaker offers,

“Sangiovese fattens up the wine and makes it both interesting and age worthy. The grape amps up the blend’s flavor profile and brings the addition of dark cherries and a teasing hint of lavender. The finish outperforms for a medium-bodied wine, hanging on amid gripping tannins. Bold fruit, a long finish, Rosso del Veronese is a seductive bottle among Fedrigo’s range.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Leviathan Red Blend 2016 from California. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Lush yet powerful with blackberry, currant, dark chocolate and savory herbs with a dense, velvety finish on the palette.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Beringer Knight’s Valley Cabernet 2015 from Knight’s Valley. Notes on the wine,

“Beringer’s 2015 Cabernet (Knights Valley),one of the estate’s flagships, is deep, plush and enveloping. In 2015, the Knights Valley Cabernet is quite fruity, while the more mineral and savory notes that are so typical of this appellation aren’t really present. It will be interesting to see if the 2015 develops more complexity over time. Black cherry, mocha, lavender and sweet spice build nicely as the wine opens up in the glass.”

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

Pacific Northwest wines are the name of the September game at SOHO! What a fun region to explore as New World wines gain recognition.  With 500+ wineries available, it’s tough to pick only 12 to share with you this month, but we’re sure going to have a great time trying!

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday, September 12, and the wines and their tapas will be available through September 18th.

First, SOHO will pour a Trisaetum Pinot Noir 2015 from Willamette Valley, OR . The winemaker offers,

“This Pinot Noir is a combination of barrels from our three estate vineyards, representing the best AVAs of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Ruby garnet in color with striking aromas of freshly ground nutmeg, Marion-berry, and wood spices. The palate exudes grace with red fruit flavors that finish with a hint of toasted oak. The lively acidity is balanced by finely-textured tannins and a firm, long finish.”

Next, SOHO will pour a L’Ecole No. 41 Syrah 2015 from Columbia Valley. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Dark, robust and spicy this full bodied Syrah shows rich flavors of black & blue berries, peppercorn, and licorice through an earthy finish.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Collusion Red Wine 2016 from Columbia Valley, WA. Notes on the wine,

“Garnet red in color, the wine opens with warm, sweet and inviting scents of blackberry jam, raspberry, forest floor, vanilla and cedar. The wine is very broad and open on the palate, with mingling flavors of fresh, ripe black cherry, restrained oak, vanilla and clove that continue well into the lingering finish. The luxurious mouthfeel provided by velvety, mature tannins assures that this wine will continue to improve in the bottle.”

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

First, SOHO will pour a Nicolas Potel Pouilly FuissÊ 2013 from Mâcon. The winemaker offers,

“Colour: Pretty pale yellow colour. Bouquet: Starting with mineral notes, and developing into smoky, toasted notes prior to revealing aromas of orange blossom. Palate: Straightforward and lively, with elegant complexity and a lemon finish.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Jean-Claude Boisset 2016 from Côtes de Nuit. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Visual: dark ruby red. Nose: open, aromas of black fruits, cherry and violet. Few notes of licorice. Palate: a clear wine with a good acidity and soft tanins.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Famille Perrin Châteauneuf 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.
