Aldo Sohm
Sommelier and Winemaker

I was “bitten by the wine bug” when I was 19, visiting a vineyard in Italy. Many years later I joined Le Bernadin, opened Aldo Sohm Wine Bar, created a Laguiole winekey and partnered with Zalto and Sohm & Kracher.
Recently I am honored to have been awarded M. Chapoutier prize for the Best Sommelier of Les Grandes Tables du Monde in 2019 and Wine Spectator’s Grand Award for Le Bernardin's restaurant wine program in 2021.
This year, my TV series "An Austrian Wine Journey" ("Eine österreichische Weinreise") has debuted!
To this day, I am incredibly lucky to have my hobby as my career!
A Totally Approachable Guide from a World-Class Sommelier
by Aldo Sohm with Christine Muhlke
Collaboration of Aldo Sohm & Gerhard Kracher began in 2009. Focus on indigenous Austrian grape varieties and passion for Grüner Veltliner.
They are very delicate. Be careful when washing.
Absolutely the finest wine glass and so hard to find right now! Ordering the Burgundy ones next!
Beautiful glass to enjoy a Cabernet. Delightful. Fantastic service from Aldo Sohm.
Small but mighty decanter. Smaller than other decanters I considered, but it delivers -- I could taste the difference after decanting my usual bottle of red wine. Beautiful design.
Bonus --
easily fits into the top rack of the dishwasher. Great packaging and quick delivery.
Excellent initiation to wine. A paragmatic, easy to follow guide that results in rapid attainment of a functional knowledge base.
Thus, the reader can readily build their palate, anxiety reduced; insight and enjoment escalated. This book is where to start.
Love the glasses!!! Somehow the wine is just better in these. They take a little getting used because they feel so fragile, but they actually are durable. Treat yourself to a set.
Its simply the best you can get - so worth the price! You have to have it in your hands, drink from it to realize what a great product it is!
They are beautiful!! Just want to drink wine in these glass all day.
Thanks so much. It was easy to order the glasses and my brother loved his birthday gift. Much appreciated.
We are enjoying these glasses. They really allow the wine to breathe so it is enjoyed at its best! They are very fragile - haven't broken any(yet) but they seem susceptible.
These are beautiful glasses! I received it promptly and it was well wrapped for shipping. I will be ordering more for sure!
This is a fantastic book. Aldo gives plenty of insight into not only wine, but also the wine business. He offers tips, recommendations, and other resources. The book is also very visually appealing (graphs, charts, colors) for a visual learner like myself. Thank you Aldo Sohm for such a great resource.
Wines legitimately taste better in these glasses—they have been very helpful for my WSET classes.
