I don't know about any of you but...I love wine. Not only is it so fun to stumble upon a new discovery but the ambiance, passion, romance and relaxation behind drinking wine is what I truly have embraced. There is something about the rituals women create when it comes to sharing with friends while partaking in a little wine and cheese.
Spending six years in the bay area of California, I learned (ok among other things) about the wine business, visited many wineries and even worked for one, so I have a PASSION for it.
So this passion has lead me to learn more about where to find fun places to taste wines. I have a couple of ideas.
In Coral Gables there is a wine shop called Wolfe's Wine Shop. Located on Miracle Mile, Wolfe's features wine tastings every Friday evening. They send out an email to their customers (Wolfepack) to let them know who the next wine expert is on the schedule. They always have different regions, price ranges, styles etc. We pay $20 for the tasting and if you buy a bottle $10 is credited toward your purchase and...you get to keep the glass.
Another idea is Town Kitchen and Bar in South Miami. Their wine program is friendly to those of us who want to try a few wines but not spend a lot of money or drink too much. They have 25 wines for under $25. So you can purchase a bottle with a few friends and not spend much. They also feature a smaller pour. Instead of always having to buy a full glass they have a half glass option.
So...I think it would be fun to meet at one of these hot spots for a girls night and let our husbands take a turn putting the little ones to bed. Let's let our hair down we deserve it!!

Yes! Yes! Yes!
Those are great options. I also know of a place on Miami Beach that we can save for later... since it's such a trek to get out there. But it is called "VINO" and I know the owner(s). They bring in boutique wines. They are fabulous and their small but delicious menu is fantastic.
