SOMM, Orlando’s newest wine bar, offers a focused, smart and approachable selection of wines from the world’s top wine producing regions. Located along I-Drive, their wine list features 60 varietals, which are available by the bottle or in three, six or nine-ounce pours as well as create your own flight options.
Last week we were invited to a blind tasting with Master Sommelier Michael McNeill where we started with champagne and tasted six different wines, three reds and three whites alongside The Court of Master Sommeliers tasting grid. We spent the evening making conclusions about each wine while trying to keep up with a room full of professionals with way more experience at blind tastings. Overall, we had a delightful and informative evening as we furthered our knowledge in the world of wine!
If you missed last week’s tasting, we’d highly recommend joining SOMM every Monday at 7 p.m. for their weekly blind tasting. Whether you’re new to wine or studying for your next exam, you’re sure to further your wine knowledge and have fun while at SOMM. And while food is still in the works, they will soon be serving a variety of hot and cold dishes from SLATE. Additionally, a Happy Hour will launch soon – we’ll be sure to share all the details with you!
SOMM is open daily from 4 p.m. to 10 pm (Mon.-Thurs.), 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. (Friday) and noon to 12 a.m. (Sat.-Sun.). For more information about SOMM, visit http://www.slateorlando.com/p/somm.html.
