Welcome to Wine Talks Miami, South Florida’s wine trade network.
In a market where every bottle counts, creativity has become the new currency. Restaurants are launching wine clubs, retailers are pouring glasses and plating snacks, and everyone’s finding fresh ways to keep guests coming back, through collabs, events, specials and more. As the lines between restaurant, retail, and club blur, the familiar wine channels we once knew are being reinvented—fast.
This lively panel gathered voices from across the trade to unpack how these hybrid models are changing the game. How are teams juggling logistics, licensing, and storytelling to make it all work? What new opportunities—and growing pains—are emerging for suppliers? And how can the industry keep pace with a more fluid, interconnected future for wine?
We heard from:
- Allegra Angelo – Partner/Sommelier @Vinya & Co-founder @ Fifth Pour
- Carlos Fonseca – Sales & Marketing Manager @ El Carajo
- Gabriela Ospina – Head Sommelier @ Boia De
Amanda Fraga kindly agreed to moderate this conversation, while I enjoyed a seat in the audience!
