🍇The Best Wines of 2019 are here at Flight Night! Sip on your favorite wines for one last time, and let’s toast to a fabulous year, and many more to come! Come reminisce with us at 5:30 TONIGHT….

This Flight Night begins on Wednesday, December 4th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through December 10th.

First, SOHO will pour a Mount Eden Chardonnay 2016 from Edna Valley.  The winemaker offers,

“Hints of cardamom, anise and hazelnut add interest to the core lemon, mineral flavors. Of all Mount Eden’s estate-grown wines, the Chardonnay is most in need of further bottle aging at release, requiring an additional two to four years to fully reveal its true character. Many vintages are still fresh and enjoyable after fifteen years, explaining why Mount Eden Estate Chardonnay is considered one of California’s longest-lived white wines.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Granville “Farmhouse Cuvee” Pinot Noir 2017 from Dundee Hills. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“The Farmhouse is a perfect example of Dundee Hills character. Brimming with succulent red and black fruit, herbaceous with slight cola nuances on a silky frame and deepening through the finish. Effortless drinkability–drink now or later, you won’t be upset either way.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Annabella Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 from Napa Valley. Notes on the wine,

“The 2017 Annabella Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning example a classic Napa Valley Cabernet. Enticing aromas of cassis, Bing cherry, and a hint of strawberry mingled with tobacco and dark chocolate. In the mouth, the voluptuous, broad wine shows flavors of ripe black cherries, root beer, and graphite, with a textured mid palate perfumed by well-integrated French oak. The finish is exotic with hints of wild flowers and nutmeg.”

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

Come tour the wineries of the southern hemisphere at SOHO! Which country will you try first, New Zealand, or South Africa?🍷🤔 Either way, you’re in for a treat with this week’s wine flights and tapas pairings! We’ll be waiting for you at 5:30 pm….

This Flight Night begins on Wednesday, November 20th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through December 3rd.

First, SOHO will pour a Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2019 from Marlborough, New Zealand.  The winemaker offers,

“The palate is concentrated and mouthwatering, with juicy stone fruit and subtle tropical characters underpinned by a fine minerality and Meyer lemon acidity”

Next, SOHO will pour a Petit Clos Pinot Noir 2017 from Marlborough, New Zealand. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Pinot Noir grapes from our youngest blocks deliver vibrant, youthful wine that are fruit driven and lively yet elegant with supple tannins and lovely balance. Petit Clos Pinot Noir tells the promising potential of our terroir and is the open door that teases you to go on to discover our estate wines.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Boekenhoutskloof Chocolate Block 2017 from Western Cape, South Africa. Notes on the wine,

“The nose is dense and brooding, yet opulent, with its compote of dark, ripe plums and blackberry and attractive whiffs of liquorice, violets, cocoa and mint. The black fruit and perfume of the nose follow through onto a rich, savory palate with flavors of dark cherry, red currant, black olives and cured meat. Fine grained, svelte tannins are in perfect balance with the lemony acidity, lending complexity to the mid-palate. The wine is full-bodied with a rich, smooth mouthfeel.”

Cold? 🥶 We’ve got just what you need to warm up: 🍷3 fabulous red wines from Australia & New Zealand + DE-LICIOUS tapa pairings for Flight Night! Bundle up, because this week, we’re tackling the cold weather the best way we know how….

This Flight Night begins on Wednesday, November 13th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through November 19th.

First, SOHO will pour a Kim Crawford “Rise & Shine” Pinot Noir 2014 from Central Otago, New Zealand.  The winemaker offers,

“Colour: Intense dark ruby red. Aroma: Intensely lifted notes of blackberries and plums. Dried thyme and sweet, spicy oak aromas give this wine an intriguing nose and balances the fruit aromas nicely. Palate: Rich and full flavours of plums, dark forest berries and spice. Ripe and luscious, the fruit flavours are well framed by silky tannins, giving the wine structure and great length.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Penfolds Koonaga Hills Shiraz 2017 from Barossa Valley, South Australia. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Red mulberry and raspberry coulis are immediately observed. Blueberry, bramble and earthy elements are offered with a little more encouragement. A steely and slatey texture surprises on the palate, being mentioned before fruit generosity. Tannins are sleek and supple and oak lies beneath spice and berries, almost providing the foundations for them to be layered on top of.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Wirra Wirra Vineyards Church Block 2014 from South Australia. Notes on the wine,

“Dark red hues with medium intensity. Excellent cherry jam and Turkish Delight aromas. Also, some dark cherry, and a hint of sarsaparilla. The palate is deliciously fleshy, plush, supple and chocolatey, and the tannins are beautifully integrated into the fabric of the wine. This McLaren Vale blend does not disappoint. Top value.”
