With this year being..well, THIS year, it’s time to focus on the BEST parts, right? Like the best wines of 2020 that YOU loved! So we’ve got these beauties this week for you tonight at Flight Night, plus some tasty tapas that’ll make your taste buds sing. 

Please make reservations with us for social distancing measures for everyone’s safety here: http://ow.ly/uUGJ50BsXoW

This Flight Night begins on Wednesday December 9th, and the wines and their tapas will be available until December 15th.

First, SOHO will pour a Maison Louis Latour Pouilly Fuisse 2018 from Beaune, France.

“The wine shows a green-gold colour, and delicate fruit aromas of melons and pears with underlying notes of almonds on the nose that are disarmingly seductive. On the palate there is a round and full herbal fruitiness that complements the crisp acidity leading to a satisfying finish.”

The second wine is a Ancient Peaks Zinfandel 2018 from Paso Robles. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“The 2018 Zinfandel offers deep, savory aromas of black cherry and plum with notes of vanilla, tobacco and dusty spice. Bright, brambly flavors of red raspberry and boysenberry unfold across a juicy texture with hints of cedar wood and black tea. Fresh acidity adds lift and structure to a sleek, peppery finish.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Andronicus Red Wine 2018 from Napa Valley. Notes on the wine,

“The 2018 Andronicus is a wine that well represents the Bordeaux Blend profile that this program exemplifies. Aromatics of concentrated raspberry, chocolate dust and crushed flower petal are followed by a flavor profile of spiced fruit, raspberry compote and hints of vanilla and crème brulee. As is customary, the concentrated mid-palate and round tannins make this wine delicious upon release, while giving it the ageability one would expect from a fine Napa Valley blend.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef Todd Paige has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines:

Maison Louis Latour Pouilly Fuisse 2018
100% Chardonnay
Paired with: Blackened Mahi with Pineapple and Mango Salsa

Ancient Peaks Zinfandel 2018
90% Zinfandel, 5% Petit Verdot, 5% Petite Syrah

Andronicus Red Wine 2018
56% Cabernet, 18% Cab Franc, 10% Malbec, 10% Petite Sirah, 6% Petit Verdot
Paired with: Crispy Chicken with Saffron Rice

Sample each wine in a flight (three three-ounce glasses) for $14.75. Or, pair the flight with a tapa plate for $19.50. Try a full glass of wine and tapa plate for $14. Of course, the wines and tapas are available individually as well ($9.75/glass and $6.75/tapas)

Can’t make it to Flight Night on Wednesday? No worries! While our pairings debut on Wednesdays, they’re available through the following Tuesday, so you have all week to catch up on the featured wines and tapas.

We can’t wait to see you!

“The 2019 Arriviste captures the vintage’s outstanding growing conditions in a mouth-watering package: a Cabernet, Merlot, and Cab Franc blend with dark peach color and striking aromas of cherry, violet, iris and Oolong tea. Flavors of cherry, nectarine, blackberry, and grapefruit combine for a rich, full-flavored rosé with balanced acidity. Finishes long and silky with plum, black currant, raspberry, and pineapple.”

The second wine is a MacRostie Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“This wine has a garnet color and ripe black currant aromas. The palate is dynamic and bright, with vibrant flavors of plum, baking spice and cocoa with fine dusty tannins that carry through to a lingering finish.”

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

“For more than a century our Cabernet Sauvignon has defined the unique character of Napa Valley. I’ve had the honor for more than 20 years to carry on this tradition. I am pleased to off this elegant and balanced wine, which expresses velvety layers of blackberry, ripe plum and chocolate.”
