Welcome to Wine Talks Miami, South Florida’s wine trade network.
On Tuesday 16th September we kicked off the 2025/6 season by asking our expert panelists how they’re navigating the current climate – especially given “the T word…” What are the current challenges – and opportunities – in this context? And what do they foresee in the coming months?
Major takeaways? There is a great deal of co-operation across the supply chain to deal with the current challenges – and although challenges exist, Miami as a market is expected to remain resilient in the coming months.
We were joined by:
- Fernando Araiza, Wine Director @ Riviera Dining Group
- Florent Blanchet, Owner @ XXX Wine & Spirits
- Henry Brimo, Wine Category Manager @ Southeastern Grocers
- Carolina Cossu, Director of Sales – South East @ Ethica Wines
To celebrate our first event of the new season, we followed this panel with a no-corkage dinner. As always, the panel was free to attend and open to all. The dinner is ticketed separately by Lafayette and WTM did not take any profit.
