    Tucked away in the lobby of the Congress Building, a 21-story locally historical building built in 1926 #architecturegeek is a cozy wine shop and specialty bodega where I met up with friends this past Friday for their monthly First Friday wine tasting. The owner Monica features a different varietal every month, and guests bring potluck snacks to share. It's a great neighborhood spot and way to kick off the weekend. But what if you didn't bring something for potluck? Don't worry, there's also a great selection of prosciutto, parmesan and plenty of other cold cuts. You can also find crackers, coffee and hierba mate. Day drinking? Get some cafecito and empanadas as well! I'm sure that if you're sampling wine, and are an aficionado, it's very likely you're going to want to buy a bottle. Whether the featured one or something else, there's a great selection. They can also recork for the road on the off chance there are some sips left. Make sure to stop by! It's a great way to show love to a local shop and socialize with friends old and new.

    Great wine shop with a friendly team that puts on fun neighborhood events! They have something for almost everyday of the week, just pop in and ask! They have never steered me wrong whether I am looking to get the biggest bang for my buck, or if I'm looking for something more elegant for a fancy event. The store even has some groceries (eggs, cheese, etc) for those days when publix is too complicated to get to. Follow their instagram: @epicureanfinewines and @epicureanfinewinesmiami

    We always have a blast when we come here. The wine recommendations are great, they always have something fun going on and have even done events to support my favorite charity. On Fridays they usually do a tasting and have entertainment. Sometimes the also have dance classes and art classes. It's always something fun and unique.

    Hidden gem of downtown! As if it wasn't enough to be a international gourmet food shop with a great selection of fine wines. But then to have a friendly warm and knowledgeable sommelier running things? Who then provides wine events with said fine wines in several formats: sommelier classes, wine tasting and fine wine tastings. It includes food pairings! And then! Hosts parties, serves food, including Andalucía gazpacho?! Perfection. There's also a fresh intimate ambiance with cozy places to sip your wine and learn more about what you're drinking. And what's better than having a sommelier help you choose that perfect bottle?

    Bingo!

    Epic time with my Yelp Elite fam for a Wine and Bingo fundraiser! The first of many for sure! Shout out to owner Monica for taking great care of us! We took 2 bottles home that night too! All proceeds went to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Thanks Dan C. and Joany!

    I had the honor of attending a leukemia event at Epicurean this past weekend and will definitely be back! Although located in downtown, there are several lots and garages in the area for parking so it wasn't t much of a mission to attend. Upon arriving, I was greeted by the lovely Monica who had wonderful knowledge of their different wines. Monica and her staff were extremely friendly and attentive, they constantly checked our glasses were full and passed around snacks. Not only do they have a great selection of wines and cheeses but their prices are very affordable. They mentioned they constantly do events so I can't wait to be back in the future.

    A really nice gourmet market and wine shoppe offering a huge selection of wines and other goodies! Located in downtown, ( street parking available). The place is easy to see. Right from the moment I stepped inside I loved this place, it was cozy and I loved the wine smell and the way it was decorated inside really made it feel authentic. It was a wine tasting event so the wine never ended, the Atmosphere inside was super friendly and everyone was having a good time. Inside It honestly felt like a homey family vibe to it which was a plus. The Charcuterie board was so good, specially the truffle cheese! They offer a lot of things to pair with the wines. They also have items you can buy in the small market from potato chips to Oreos lol. Recommend this to everyone, good wine and good atmosphere! Can't wait to come back here for a round 2!

    Awesome find in the middle of downtown a jewel amongst the high-rises all around. Came for an event and Monica the owner was so gracious, friendly and helpful, she went above and beyond in explaining the different kinds of wines that she sells and the pairings for cheeses. Bought a VIlla Maria Sauvignon Blanc it was crisp and perfect for what I felt like having and my friends all agreed, the Spanish goat cheese with pimento rim was delicious. We had an incredible time will definitely be back. Great space great for gatherings or just having some wine with friends.

    Cute little hole in the wall wine shop in Downtown Miami. The staff is a delight and always happy to guide you thru the store making recommendations. Some Fridays they have a nice wine tasting happy hour type of event.. its a nice opportunity to sample wines, and also make new friends!

    An oasis in downtown Miami with great wine, coffee, and tapas. A great place to spend some quiet time with a glass of great wine surrounded by art. Conveniently located in the heart of downtown. Service is fantastic as is the ambiance.

    This establishment truly feels like family and small town vibes in the big city of Miami. I went the other night with some friends for my first time and had an amazing experience. Did a winetasting class which was so awesome and had some delicious bites. Monica the owner is super helpful and attentive. It even turned into a karaoke party at the end of the night everybody was super friendly and the vibes were there

    Great services and awesome inventory. Go to the Friday night wine pairing, great place to begin your night.

    Monday blind wine tasting class

    A local gem, woman owned small business. Habla español y portugese e Italiano. I love how you can be advised on affordable good wine to your taste and budget. There are also by-glass wine tastings and wine classes twice a week. Final icing on the cake is that I met a great community of neighbors coming to wine tasting gatherings. This shop truly adds to the neighborhood spirit of downtown Miami with its all-welcome, cozy and delicious attitude.

    I met Alessandra at a wine event and learned that her company teaches many classes on wine and even…read moresake. I've been thinking of taking the WSET exam to get some more solid knowledge of wine, and after comparing different places offering the course as well as online options, I decide to take the class here. Located in the SunTrust building, the academy is easily accessible and there's garage as well as street parking around. The class is a small in size so it's good for sharing experience and opinions. Alessandra is readily available to answer questions during and after class, and she gives useful tips in preparing for the exam. The course really helped me in calibrating my palate to the WSET standard, as well as broadening my horizon and introducing me to less common wines, such as Hungarian tokaji and Australian riesling. In the end, I felt that regardless of whether I pass the exam or not, the course was totally worthwhile, because it has given me a lot of knowledge and the tool to better appreciate wine.

    What an incredible time I had yesterday at the Florida Wine Academy for my Wine Class…read more I have so many reasons to go back, from the impeccable place, inside and outside, to the wonderful and well-prepared class, directed by Ms. Nicole. She emailed us, two days before, and asked us if we have any food allergies since they will provide some snacks to pair with the wines. She also gave us the address and explained to us how to get there and where to park. I parked in a public garage for $5.00, this was not my best choice, because I'm not used to walking alone downtown, but it wasn't that bad after all. I went into the Sun-trust building, a beautiful tall building. The academy is on the 22nd floor as Nicole told us in her email. Once I got there, we went to this room where she had everything set up as you can see in my pictures, so pretty and organized. That's one of the most important things for me, how well organized and neat everything was. I need all those, in order for me to learn and enjoy myself the way I did. She started the class as a Professor will, telling us about herself and that, made me happy, such a prepared person is teaching me about wine...wow. The way she directed the class, with all the details, from guiding us where to buy wines, to open up our senses. Smell, Taste, and Body, were words we used during the whole class since we learned from her how to categorize each different wine, from all the six we had. As we were learning, smelling, and trying the wines, she also told us how to pair them with food and gave us tips on which wine will go good or better with the food we choose. With the wines we tried, we had some nuts, cheese and crackers, grapes, and dark chocolate...Yummy! They also offer all the 4 levels of WSET classes, plus labs like the one I went and more. You can always call or check their website for more information. Honestly, after trying this class yesterday, I don't feel so embarrassed to try the leveled classes and get my certification, because they way they teach you, you can actually learn and move forward. Que increíblemente bien la pase ayer en la Florida Wine Academy en mi clase de vinos. Tengo muchas razones para volver; desde el lugar​ tan​ impecable, dentro y fuera, a la clase maravillosa y bien preparada, dirigida por la Sra. Nicole. Ella nos envió un correo electrónico, dos días antes, y nos preguntó si teníamos alguna alergia a los alimentos, ya que proporcionarán algunos aperitivos para acompañar a los vinos. Ella también nos dio la dirección y nos explicó cómo llegar y dónde estacionar. ​Estacion​é en un garaje público por $ 5.00, esta no era mi mejor opción, porque no estoy acostumbrada a caminar sola en el centro de la ciudad, pero no fue tan malo después de todo. Entré en el edificio Sun-trust, un hermoso y alto edificio. La academia está en el piso 22, como nos dijo Nicole en su correo electrónico. Una vez que llegué allí, fuimos al salón donde ella tenía todo preparado como puedes ver en mis fotos, tan lindo y organizado. Esa es una de las cosas más importantes para mí, qué tan bien organizado y ordenado era todo. Necesito todos esto para poder aprender y disfrutar como lo hice. Comenzó la clase como profesora, contándonos sobre ella y eso, me hizo feliz, una persona tan preparada me está enseñando sobre el vino ... wao. La forma en que dirigió la clase, con todos los detalles, desde guiarnos a dónde comprar vinos, a abrir nuestros sentidos. Olor, Sabor y Cuerpo fueron palabras que utilizamos durante toda la clase, ya que aprendimos de ella cómo categorizar cada vino diferente, de los seis que probamos. Mientras aprendíamos, olíamos y probamos los vinos, ella también nos dijo cómo combinarlos con la comida y nos dio consejos sobre qué vino iría bien o mejor con la comida que elijamos. Con los vinos que probamos, tuvimos nueces, queso y galletas, uvas y chocolate negro ... ¡delicioso! También ofrecen los 4 niveles de clases de WSET, además de laboratorios como el que fui y más. Siempre puede llamar o consultar su sitio web para obtener más información. Honestamente, después de probar esta clase ayer, no me siento tan avergonzada de probar las clases niveladas y obtener mi certificación, porque de la forma en que te enseñan, en realidad puedes aprender y seguir adelante.

I would 100% recommend this class to anyone beginners to advanced it's such a great time. A great date night idea as well. So we started the night with some red sangria and ended with white sangria; as for the menu for the night it was tapas, seafood paella and sangria. We had octopus with chimichurri (I'm a very picky eater and I usually don't eat seafood and omg it was SPECTACULAR). We also had garlic grilled lamb chops with mint edamame hummus salad, Brussels sprout salad , chicken kabobs with potato salad, seafood paella, bacon wrapped shrimp everything was delicious. Chef David was amazing he helped us with anything we needed from how to chop onions to cutting lamb chops to cooking octopus. I was astonished after we finished cooking everything we all sat together and ate and talked it was nice like a family dinner (it was a class of about 12 of us we all cooked something different so at the end we all sat down to try everything we all made together). Almost forgot! dessert was given at the end we didn't make it but was so delicious caramel, chocolate, and coffee all mixed just look at the picture. I don't know the name of it sorry. They not only do adult classes, but kids classes, and birthday parties and private parties. Every class is different just go to their website and see what classes they are preparing each day is different. I'll post some pictures so you guys can see

While the dough rested we enjoyed a delicious fresh salad of greens, carrots, cucumber, and tomatoes just drizzled with aromatic olive oil. Brought back memories of vacations in Italy where we made salad from the veggies growing from our garden. We continued in our pasta making journey by rolling out the dough and passing it through the pasta roller. Chef also demonstrated how to make different shapes of pasta and the history behind them. We the watched him prepare our pasta dinner! This was the most challenging part...mouths were surely watering! We were served pappardelle with mushroom ragout, and ravioles stuffed with truffled ricotta. Everything was fresh tasting and delicious. I loved all the simple ingredients and the light natural flavors. Dessert was chocolate mousse with strawberries and fresh whipped cream! Heaven!! We all left with our very own pasta dough ...and I'm seriously considering practicing what I learned! This was such an amazing experience and I'm looking forward to trying something like this again.

    Cozymeal is "AWESOME"…read more What a great experience it was for me and maybe for the group that attended with me as well.

He has great charisma and is extremely talented. He took the time to explain the process, to make contact with each one of us at the class and to guide you as needed. Who knew that making pasta would be so much fun. We made Papardelle from scratch with a mushroom ragu and also ravioli stuffed with truffle oil flavoured ricotta-parmesan mix. (This was heaven in a spoon) Also created a small salad appetizer to let the pasta dough rest after the knitting process, with a simple yet delicious citrus vinaigrette. Ohhhh.... it is a BYOB kind of a deal that I didn't know about... So feel free to bring a nice bottle of wine to drink and share as others kindly did since I didn't bring any. I highly recommend Cozymeal to anyone wanting to learn. The "how to" process is incredible. Can't wait to see what other classes are available to sign in. Thumbs up for the Cozymeal team and thanks for this great opportunity. PS: the location was beautiful and nicely decorated.
