In the world of hosting one question reigns supreme: how do I choose the perfect wine?

Well friends, there is no better way to elevate your wine selection than by entering the world of Aldo Sohm's “Wine Simple.”

With Aldo Sohm as our guide, we navigate the world of wine with confidence and flair so that you can become the wine expert in your friend group.

From intimate dinners to lively picnics, each occasion is an opportunity to uncork a new discovery, to savor the magic of wine in all its complexity.

Picture this: a Spanish paella night bubbling on the stove, the aroma of saffron filling the air. What's the perfect companion? Look no further than Tempranillo. Its bold flavors of red fruit and spice harmonize with the dish's rich flavors, transporting your taste buds to the streets of Barcelona. With its bold red fruit flavors and earthy undertones, it's the perfect partner for a night of Spanish flair.

For a night of charcuterie chic and conversation, with platters piled high with cured meats and artisanal cheeses, opt for a Pinot Noir. Its versatility and elegance complement a variety of cured meats and cheeses, creating a cohesion of flavors that dance across the palate. Its silky texture and delicate berry notes make it the perfect partner for an evening of indulgence.

As you spread out your blanket in the sun-dappled park, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc awaits. With its vibrant citrus flavors and refreshing acidity, it's the perfect companion for al fresco dining. Soak up the sunshine and sip away, surrounded by good company and great wine.

At a simple potluck with friends, where the dishes are as diverse as the personalities gathered around the table, versatility is key. Enter Vinho Verde, the unsung hero of social gatherings. Its light, effervescent nature and subtle citrus flavors make it the ideal accompaniment to an array of dishes, from pasta to poultry.

As we raise our glasses to another evening of laughter and love, let's remember the wisdom of Aldo Sohm: wine doesn't have to be complicated to be enjoyed. With a little knowledge and a lot of heart, each bottle becomes a catalyst for unforgettable moments.

Here’s a toast from your lovely guide.

Cheers,
