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!

“Vibrant ruby red in color, La Brisa Pinot Noir opens with hints of earth, crushed rose petals, and red fruits laced with a wild character. Strong flavors of crushed raspberry, cola, freshly turned soil, and tobacco linger on the palate. The texture is rich and leads into a warm finish with balanced oak and fresh minerality.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Gundlach Bundschu Mountain Cuvée 2016 from Sonoma County. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Welcoming aromas of cherries, raspberries, warm vanilla, and a little cola lead to a medium bodied wine framed by soft tannins and lively acidity.

First, SOHO will pour a L’Oliveto Pinot Noir 2014 from Russian River Valley. The winemaker offers,

“The 2014 L’Oliveto Pinot Noir is deep garnet in color, the nose is full of loamy earth, rhubarb, cardamom and cocoa. The palate shows excellent weight with a core of red fruit enveloped in gamey earthiness that finishes with mouth watering dark berry notes.

Next, SOHO will pour a Sivas-Sonoma Zinfandel 2014 from Sonoma County. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Our 2014 Sivas-Sonoma Old Vine Zinfandel offers aromas of black and rainbow peppercorns, coriander, over ripe raspberry and pomegranate jam.

We’re in the thick of Atlanta summer now, and weary from the heat. After long days of working and sitting in traffic, we need something to look forward to, and Sonoma wines are just the ticket! This week, we have a pinot noir, a merlot, and a beautiful red blend to share with you, to make your summer woes a little more palatable. Also, these 3 paired tapas are AMAZING, so if you’re not coming hungry, then you’re doing yourself a disservice!

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday, August 8th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through August 14th.

First, SOHO will pour a Banshee Pinot Noir 2016 from Sonoma County. The winemaker offers,

“The 2016 edition is an exciting, yet friendly wine, bursting at the seams with aromas of macerated wild berries and an elegant, soft earth undertone. The flavors combine both sweet and tart, reminiscent of Santa Rosa plums and wild blackberries that grow so commonly in Sonoma Wine Country. The finish is bright, slightly herbal, and savory making this an excellent food wine, as well as a charming drinking experience by itself.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Bench Knights Valley Merlot 2016 from Knights Valley. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Brilliant ruby red hue, the nose is expressive with cherry cream, blackberry reduction and cedar. The palate is creamy and lush, flavors of pie crust, dark forest fruits and tangy Marion-berries meld together on a lasting, elegant finish.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Highway 12 Red Blend 2015 from Sonoma County. Notes on the wine,

“A fruity, leathery nose offers a glimpse into what unfolds on the palate. Hefty bright notes of ripe plum, currant jelly and a tinge of sweet tobacco fill the senses with the first sip. As this breathes, it morphs into something exceptionally smooth and round, a result of the introduction of soft tannins and lightly burnt toffee oak. The fig jam finish lingers but just long enough to go in for the next sip.”

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

Welcome back to the U.S. of A! We are so lucky to have the region of Sonoma in our country, and all the varietals of wine available to us.  Is one month really enough time to explore this fully? No, but we can have a great trying! We hope you love our Sonoma selections for the month of August, and their perfectly paired tapas from Chef Joe too.

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday, August 2nd, and the wines and their tapas will be available through August 8th.

First, SOHO will pour a Mac Rostie Chardonnay 2015 from Sonoma Coast. The winemaker offers,

“The wine begins with a beautifully fragrant nose of pineapple, mango and guava. On the palate, the tropical fruit elements mingle with lively citrus layers as well as hints of spice from aging in French oak. The finish is clean, refreshing and quickly invites another taste.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Windracer Pinot Noir 2014 from Russian River. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Aromas of dark cherry, mocha, and sassafras immediately introduces you to the bold personality of the Russian River Valley. The robust aromas give way to rich black plums followed by dark chocolate nuances. Perfectly balanced, the full-bodied structure displays great concentration and firm but refined tannins. This lush mouthfeel showcases the lively characteristics and quality the Russian River Valley is known for.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Knuttel Family Cabernet 2015 from Dry Creek Valley. Notes on the wine,

“Aromas of black cherry and ripe plum mesh with blackberry spice and violets. Flavors explode on the palate, with velvety tannins and elegant acidity seamlessly integrated into the finish. The balance of the wine makes it extremely versatile, pairing equally well with salads and cheeses as well as grilled vegetables and roasted red meats.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Chateau De Saint Cosme Côtes du Rhône – Les Deux Albion 2016 from Rhone. The wine is described by the winemaker,

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,

“The Anna Asmaquer Beaujolais is an old vines blend with profound minerality, a bright wild berry nose, and possesses typique Beaujolais finesse. The grapes are harvested manually and vinified completely without sulp[her dioxide. The wines are not chaptalized, filtered, or degassed and only natural yeasts are used for the fermentation. La Prébende crafts one of the best Beaujolais AOC values available today.”

First, SOHO will pour a Bodega Colomé Torrontes 2017 from Calchaquí Valley, Salta, Argentina. The winemaker offers,

“Intense gold in colour with green tones, this wine has a bright floral nose with the citrus aroma of grapefruit and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is fresh and well structured with a crisp finish. This wine is elegant and fruity with tropical notes to the fore.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Altamana Grande Reserve Malbec ‘14 from Maule, Central Valley, Chile. The wine is described by the winemaker,
