Sonoma County Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cab; what more could you ask for? This is truly the trifecta of wines we enjoy bringing to our guests! Three great vineyards paired with three DELICIOUS tapas makes everybody pretty happy, if we do say so ourselves. And that’s what it’s all about, right? Come get into the spirit of Sonoma with us at SOHO; we know you won’t regret it!

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday August 30th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through September 5th.

First, SOHO will pour a 2014 Jordan Chardonnay from Russian River Valley, and offers the following tasting notes,

“Enticing aromas of pear, kiwi and lychee. The palate is round, creamy and refined, with layers of lemon curd, bright acidity and a kiss of caramel from barrel aging. A juicy, succulent wine that leaves a lasting impression of fresh Meyer lemon and stone fruits on the crisp finish.  Enjoy now or cellar through 2021.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2013 Alysian Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast.  The wine is described as,

“ 2013 Alysian Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir shows aromas of pomegranate, red cherry, and a funky forest floor. Flavors of raspberry, bright plum and mint carry on a lingering finish. Pleasant brightness makes this a wonderful food friendly wine. Although entirely approachable now we encourage you to experience its evolution through 2025.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2014 Trig Point Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Dust Vineyard from Alexander Valley.  The winemaker says,

“Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, spice and licorice. Black currant and cherry flavors are accented with sage and dark chocolate. Full-bodied on the palate, this vintage shows subtle espresso bean and mocha notes in a soft, supple finish.”

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

Sonoma-County

First, SOHO will pour a 2016 Mauritson Sauvignon Blanc from Dry Creek Valley, and offers the following tasting notes,

“The aroma is a beautiful balance of young white peach flesh, papaya, and delicate white blossom. There is a pervasive vein of minerality and fresh pine sap. The entry is bright and focused. On the palate, notes of candied grapefruit dance with flavors of summer melon and lime zest. The finish is clean and soft with balanced acidity.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2014 St Francis Old Vine Zinfandel from  Sonoma County.  The wine is described as,

“This rich, medium-bodied “Old Vines” Zinfandel reveals abundant aromas of dark red berries, cherry compote and warm spice. Lingering, bright flavors follow, with notes of boysenberry pie, fresh cranberry and a touch of white pepper. The finish is long, smooth and a little spicy.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2013 Schug Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma Valley.  The winemaker says,

“It has a classic bouquet bursting with berries, cassis and spice. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot are blended in to add depth and elegance, further enhancing the bright berry flavors and lively acidity.”

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