Miami Luxury Food Blog & Podcast
Miami sommeliers share their favorite books, movies, and TV shows for the wine enthusiast. Sideways is fun, but my favorite wine documentary is Blood into Wine. Mainly, I love this one because it follows one of my favorite musicians, Maynard Keenan (lead singer of Tool, A Perfect Circle, etc…), and his winery, Caduceus Cellars in Arizona. You’ll […]

From intricate interior design execution to, more importantly, bites of a lifetime, every restaurant exists at turnkey status.

Restaurateurs, chefs, investors and everyone in between continue flocking south, trying to sway their way into our hearts and stay for the long-haul. Ha! If it was only that simple. Curious and hungry (as usual), I made a reservation and have visited several times. Spoiler alert: I can now say I am swayed and impressed.

LONG STORY SHORT Disappointing and not for me. A perfect example of a newcomer dog and pony show, one with excess flash and no substance. Miami may be quick to initially follow a red carpet path, but also brutally greedy with its loyalty. What remains once the novelty fades? Probably not this. THE LONG STORY […]
