There are many great restaurants in Miami, and I love that I get to talk about them and promote them. No longer is the Magic City only a city for sunbathing tourists and party revelers, Miami is a world-class city with a hospitality industry that is thriving.
Some of the nation’s top chefs have noticed how hot Miami is and have planted seeds of culinary creations in what is often called the Capital of Latin America. Miami is on the crux, and it’s a city that is unlike any other. What better way to get an idea of how we should be traveling than by asking experts in an international city that sits at the center of the Americas.
In my recent article for Winetraveler, I sat down and spoke with five of Miami’s top sommeliers and got their advice for wine travelers and expert suggestions on where to drink wine in Miami. Here are their answers.
