What does this recognition mean to you?

“This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the community. From the beginning, our goal was to create a wine shop in Miami where people feel comfortable asking questions and confident in what they’re buying.”

“Our selection is intentional. Bordeaux is a cornerstone for us, but we also dedicate a lot of attention to Champagne, Napa Valley, and Japanese sake. Every bottle on the shelf has a reason to be here.”

How does Florida Wine Academy fit into the vision?

“Education has always been central to what we do. Florida Wine Academy allows us to offer WSET courses in Miami, professional tastings, and sake education. Retail and education complement each other naturally.”
