Best Rosé Wine List Florida, presented by Château d'Esclans 2026
This restaurant is a visit to the French Riviera in Miami’s Brickell neighbourhood. LPM’s wine list knows exactly who it is and executes accordingly. France dominates, with a particularly strong showing from Provence, Burgundy, Bordeaux, and the Rhône, all curated with a confident hand. What makes this list shine is its usability: rosés that have structure, whites that handle citrus and olive oil, and reds that won’t overpower the food. There are luxury bottles for celebrations, but also plenty of smart mid-range picks that make repeat visits slightly easier on the wallet. It’s polished, yes,...

Los Fuegos at the Faena Hotel on Miami Beach understands that cooking over fire demands a wine list with strength. South America sets the tone here, with Argentina and Uruguay well represented, supported by Old World selections that complement smoke and char rather than compete with it. Expect Malbecs with restraint and elegance, Cabernet Francs that lean savoury, and whites chosen for freshness and grip. The list isn’t encyclopedic, but it doesn’t need to be. Everything feels selected with intention, designed to stand up to bold flavours and long, lingering dinners.

Best Medium-Sized List Florida, presented by Château Tours des Termes 2026
The Joyce brings a nostalgic fine dining experience to one of Miami Beach’s most charming streets, Española Way. There is already something transportive about this street, which feels more reminiscent of a quaint European escape than the middle of South Beach. Inside The Joyce, that sentimental mood carries through familiar dishes reimagined for a more refined palate. The wine list leans French, with strong selections from Champagne, Burgundy, and Bordeaux, and a smaller selection from elsewhere around the world. (This is not the place to come expecting a deep bench of Italian bottles.) And,...

Address: 350 Ocean Dr, Miami Beach
Special Jury Prize Florida 2026
It’s easy to walk past this restaurant on Ocean Drive (south of 5th) if you don’t know that it is tucked inside the Art Deco-style Balfour Hotel. Laurel is a breezy Mediterranean escape right in the heart of South Beach, so close to the actual beach that it’s an ideal spot for a sunset dinner after a splash in the ocean. For starters, think of mezze plates full of delicious dips, made for sharing, or a fresh watermelon and feta salad. The menu leans Greek with other inspirations from the Med, all paired with a diverse wine list curated by General Manager Lisbet Lopez. Whether you are in the...

Located in the picturesque neighborhood of Normandy Isles, Silverlake Bistro has made its name as a favorite restaurant for locals to meet and enjoy French-inspired American comfort food. A charming bistro owned by Sandy Sanchez and Chef Benoit Rablat, Silverlake is the type of place where neighbors gather for a glass of wine, good cheer, and the best burger in town. The wine list includes a range of bottles from California, France, even Mexico and Israel. Many of the producers are ones we know and love but don’t see enough around town. On Thursday nights, the list is half-off, meaning this n...

Address: The Sagamore, 1671 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach
It’s easy to get swamped by the chaos of South Beach on a busy night, which is why Water Lion is the perfect refuge for the wayward wine lover who finds themself looking for that perfect glass. Located in the lobby of The Sagamore Hotel, Water Lion is a small and chic wine bar offering selections from all corners of the world. The more uncommon, the better! The list is rotating, so there is always something new to explore. My go-to ask is for something new and exciting, and the folks at Water Lion always deliver on this request.

Known for its contemporary European cuisine, the Michelin-starred Surf Club Restaurant also exudes timeless elegance. Once inside, you feel transported to the bygone era of Miami’s refined history. If you can imagine Frank Sinatra sitting at the bar, you’re in the right place. Perhaps Champagne or sparkling wine is the way to go here, as bubbles are the fitting beverage for such a classic establishment as this, and the wine list provid...
