The Noja Wine Experience

At Noja in Mobile, AL, dining transcends the ordinary through a harmonious fusion of Mediterranean and Asian flavors—a culinary style we proudly call “MediterrAsian.” This innovative approach is not only reflected in our dishes but also in our meticulously curated wine selection, designed to complement and elevate each bite.

Curated Wine Selections to add to MediterrAsian Dining

Our wine list is thoughtfully crafted to pair seamlessly with our seasonal menu, contributing to the complex flavors of our MediterrAsian cuisine. Whether you're enjoying the rich spices of Pan Seared Salmon or the delicate notes of Seared Scallops, our selections harmonize with the diverse profiles of our dishes, as detailed on the wine menu.

NoJa offers a wide variety of wines from both Old World and New World regions, including crisp whites, balanced reds and sparkling options. Guests can explore lighter wines, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, which bring out fresh and subtle flavors or indulge in deeper reds that highlight heartier dishes. The staff often share tasting notes, helping guests appreciate nuances such as acidity, body and aroma, which all contribute to a more immersive dining experience.

Signature Pairings: A Taste of Excellence

At NoJa, the menu shines brightest when paired with the perfect glass of wine or handcrafted cocktail. One standout is the Seared Scallops with Sauvignon Blanc, where the wine’s crisp citrus notes bring out the scallops’ delicate sweetness. For a rich and savory entrée, the Duck Breast finds its ideal match in an Old Fashioned—its warmth and touch of orange zest highlight the savory richness of the dish. Guests looking for a more vibrant wine pairing might enjoy the Panko-Crusted Fresh Fish with Sparkling Rosé, whose bright bubbles balance the ginger-miso glaze beautifully. These pairings aren’t just thoughtful—they embody the spirit of NoJa’s Mediterranean-Asian fusion, each adding depth to the flavors on the plate while introducing new dimensions in the glass.

Staff Recommendations: Personalized Pairings

Our knowledgeable team is always ready with personalized wine suggestions tailored to individual tastes. Whether a seasoned wine enthusiast or casual diner, staff insights draw on the restaurant’s dedication to combining MediterrAsian flavors with thoughtful wine pairings. Staff often recommend exploring a wine by itself before pairing, allowing the guest to notice how aromas and flavor notes interact with different dishes. This approach helps diners understand why certain wines pair so well with specific proteins, sauces and spices, enhancing the overall appreciation of the meal.
