We look forward to enjoying this week’s Flight Night with you!

This Flight Night begins on Wednesday, January 16th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through January 26th.

Happy New Year! Just for something a little different this week, we’ve decided to feature three different glorious types of Malbec. Since it’s pretty cold and gloomy in Atlanta, these red wines from South American and France will cheer you up! (Honestly, it’s hard to be grouchy when you’re enjoying good wine, no?) So kick off your new year with us and plan to come by to experience our Flight Nights on Wednesdays, or the flights and tapas themselves the rest of the week.  Let’s make 2019 the year of good food, wine, and people!

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

jan week 2-page-001 (1)

First, SOHO will pour a Cuvelier Los Andes – Colección 2011 from Valle de Uco, Argentina.  The winemaker offers,

“The Colección is a blend of varietals. Purple in color, with a brooding bouquet, it is a dense, structured, rich wine with impeccable balance, volume, and length. It has the structure to evolve for 2-3 years but can be approached now. It is a great value.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Four Vines “The Biker” Zinfandel, Paso Robles 2016 from Paso Robles. The wine is described by the winemaker,

Finally, SOHO will pour a Piccini Brunello Di Montalcino 2012 from Montalcino, Tuscany. Notes on the wine,

“This wine plays its cards close to its chest and reveals characteristics aromas of wild berry, cherry cola, grilled herb and toasted almond. The bouquet is not too intense. The wine is refined in large oak casks for two years. The quality of the tannins is not totally smooth, but this is acommon trait in the Brunello’s from this vintage.”

“Our 2014 Estate Pinot Noir is there. The aromatics are smoky cedar and floral notes. They are delicate and not over powering. There is rich, black cherry flavors,  candied fruit sweetness, a slight hint of black licorice, and rose petals. The wine is amazing in its balance. You really have to taste it to get it. I have no idea why some wines are balanced and some not. I do know that this one is…..enjoy.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Piatelli Premium Reserve Malbec 2016 from Mendoza, Argentina. The wine is described by the winemaker,

Cape wine route, South Africa

“Translucent ruby with a youthful strawberry edge. On the nose a vivid flourish of raspberry, cranberry and red cherry aromas with discreet roasted nuts. Palate is an intricately structured wine with a delicate entry, blossoming into a poised concentration of wild berry flavours and oak spice. Gains complexity and richness before ending with a long, finely textured finish.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Yalumba Old Bush Vine Grenache ‘16 from Barossa Valley, AU. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Vibrant and elegant Grenache, the old bush vines really display their class in the 2016 vintage. The wine is fragrant, fresh and full of red cherries, raspberries and crunchy pomegranates. Savory characters evolve into spices and dried herbs. A concise yet fleshy palate with rich red fruits weaving through a juicy, mouth-watering mid palate, with elegant tannins and fresh acidity to finish.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a The Chocolate Block 2016 from Western Cape, SA. Notes on the wine,

“The nose is exceptionally perfumed with an abundance of complex red and dark berry fruit, violets and intense aromas of white pepper. Dark brooding fruit follows through onto a structured, opulent palate with notes of cardamom, cumin, cloves and black pepper. The midpalate is rich, textured and balanced with integrated acidity, cocoa powdery tannins and a definite cedarwood character derived from French oak. White pepper lingers on a smooth, lifted finish.”

The recent chilly bite in the air in Atlanta has made us want to hibernate (with wine of course) as we enter into holiday season mode.  Fall is such a great time of year here, with a few patio days sprinkled in for optimal foliage watching, coupled with wine drinking!

Our wine feature this next two weeks illustrates the perfect drinking choice: A lovely Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from New Zealand, and a complex Cab from Australia.  The tapas pairings are on point as well, and we would encourage you to stop by to say hello, and take a moment to enjoy life before the holiday craziness hits.  We look forward to seeing you!

🇦🇺 SOHO’s Going “Down Under” With Wines From Australia & NZ!

Australian and New Zealand wineries are such a delight to feature!  There’s more difference than similarity in what they offer, of course.  New Zealand is best known for sauvignon blanc and pinot noir.  Australia, which is best known for its amazing shiraz (the grape known elsewhere as syrah) is really a wildly diverse country with a bunch of divergent regions that specialize in grapes of all sorts. We could happily drink these wines for MONTHS and not be able to enjoy them all!

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday, November 7th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through November 13th.

Our_Wine_Header

First, SOHO will pour a Kim Crawford “Rise and Shine” Pinot Noir 2014 from South Island, NZ. The winemaker offers,

“Color: Dark red. Aroma: Lifted red berry fruit aromas with dark cherry notes, complemented by savory undertones and spicy oak. Palate: Ripe, dark berry flavors of blackberry and black currant. Subtle hints of oak help fill out the palate.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Small Gully “The Formula Robert’s Shiraz” 2014 from Adelaide Plains, AU. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“A big full flavored Shiraz produced from 50+ year old vines grown at Robert’s vineyard on the Adelaide Plains. Well balanced and textured, this wine shows savory notes of tar, leather and spice intermingled with chocolate and raisins. Soft persistent tannins and excellent length.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Franklin Tate Cabernet Merlot 2016 from Margaret River. Notes on the wine,

“Flavors of ripe blackcurrants and dark plums dominant the palate with a savory hint of black olive. The fruit is integrated with oak flavors of cinnamon and cedar spice. Chalky tannins give this wine length.”

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

October Week 3-page-001

First, SOHO will pour a Four Vines “The Biker” from Paso Robles. The winemaker offers,

Beef Tapas + Red Wines🍷= A Perfect Flight Night Match!

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!

L’Arco Rosso del Veronese 2015
50% Corvina/Corvinone, 30% Rondinella, 15% Sangiovese Grosso

Beringer Knight’s Valley Cabernet 2015
