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

The worm has a center groove, which makes removing older corks a bit easier, and the lever is sturdy but smooth. They feel good in your hand, and they’re obviously made with quality materials.
This is a treasure
. Love it.
Collaboration of Aldo Sohm & Gerhard Kracher began in 2009. Focus on indigenous Austrian grape varieties and passion for Grüner Veltliner.
Zalto are by far the best wine glasses I have tried. Just love them. The white wine glasses are especially great to drink champagne!
These are exceptional wine glasses. Very thin, great feel while holding and dishwasher safe!
Of course you do!? These Zalto’s are sexy AF so don’t even think about it. Just don’t pour any Vueve Cliquot in these flutes because if you do, you drink terrible Champagne and these flutes won’t help you.
This Zalto Champagne glass is simply the best!!! Delicate, but perfect in EVERY way- Champagne tastes better in this glass. Shipping from Aldo Sohm is fast and SUPER packaging guarantees safe delivery!!

I ordered 4 glasses - they arrived promptly and well-packaged. They are delicate and beautiful and the wine truly shines. However, I tried to wash one glass by hand and it immediately broke at the stem with very little pressure. They've done well in the dishwasher as recommended. Will be ordering another glass once they're back in stock.
I wasn’t sure if these would live up to the hype, but once you try them you’ll understand. They are so light and well designed to bring out the aromas and flavors of the wine.
I have Riedel varietal glasses as well, which I was so pround of, but now that I have Zaltos, I’m not sure I can go back. The Riedels I have aren’t handmade so they are much heavier and just clunkier. Comparing side by side, Zaltos are a work of art. Also, once you watch the video of how they are made you will respect all the hard work that goes into making a glass. I can’t wait to grab a few more once they’re back in stock.
We have been using Zalto glasses for years since first seeing them at the original Momofuku Ko in NYC. They are thin and sophisticated, yet dishwasher safe and nearly indestructible. By washing them in the dishwasher, you eliminate that main risk of breaking them, which is while handwashing. I had to buy more after dropping a glass on the floor (like I said, "nearly" indestructible). These glasses are hard to find. Thank you Aldo Sohm for stocking them!
These are the best glasses in the world. They are sold out everywhere so if you see them available, buy them. They showed up very fast. Great service!
So beautiful, light weight and elegant! I just love these glasses! Will buy more as gifts for special friends.
You get what you pay for and these are the best! Sorry Riedel.
Love these glasses. Been anxiously waiting for them to come back in stock to add to our shelf. And when I did, they arrived quickly and packaged like they were transporting the faberge egg. We have only shattered one (while washing) over the years, and the others have managed to avoid the same fate. But we also don't break these out for butterfingered guests (half serious)... You gotta have a history of drinking with us first (true story)! Good wine deserves a good glass!
Beautiful Zalto quality and a lovely esthetic. Works equally well w/ red and white. Terrific glass! Thanks Aldo for the hookup 😀
I ordered a six pack about two years ago and they are the best wine glasses I have ever used. The glasses arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Just ordered another set so I can do side by side tastings with friends. These are the go to wine glasses of all of my wine collecting friends as well. Can't wait for some of their other selections to come back in stock so I can get those too!
