Wine of the Week: Catie San Touraine 2019
We are lucky here in Miami to have some fantastic wine professionals who are both passionate and innovative.

Wine of the Week: Southern Right Pinotage 2020

Wine of the Week: Southern Right Pinotage 2020
Refreshing and elegant are two words that you probably don’t associate with Pinotage, but the expression by Southern Right might change your mind.

Ruka Winewood: A Wynwood wine bar to enjoy
Sarah reports on an exciting new Wynwood wine bar… Finally, someone’s done it. Since moving to Miami in 2019, I’ve had the same wine-related question in mind: Why has nobody opened a wine bar in Wynwood, and called it Winewood? It seems so obvious.
