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.
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.
This wine glass has made drinking wine so much more enjoyable! I did a ton of research on universal wine glasses for my first venture into a stemmed wine glass (my wife and I had been using some stemless wine tumblers before) and these have lived up to the reviews! They're super light (so be careful when washing -- I can't bring myself to put these in the dishwasher so I've only washed by hand), but make swirling, sniffing and sipping wine super easy. Has really made us enjoy our wine even more.
This was as easy as I have ever ordered and received wine glasses. My order was processed quickly and delivered promptly. The glasses were carefully wrapped to avoid breakage. Highly recommended.
I wasn't sure if I would fall in love with these glasses, but darn if it didn't happen in one sip. They are so light and delicate, but strong at the same time. I opened my favorite bottle and it was exceptional. Worth every penny!
