How Do You Most Enjoy Your Vino? Words From YOU and iVinoMiami...

Ah, yes we're heading right back into the fall food and Vino Season here in South Florida.
As we dive right into September, kids are back to school, and the summer days are a thing of the past.
It is typically said that the season for the most enjoyment of South Florida vino and food events starts in early November and runs until late April, for which I think we would all agree.

We know you like to enjoy all the Food and Vino events going on in the area and you're often contributing to the local scene.
Now, we ask you to contribute with some words....

What should it have and how should THE ULTIMATE South Florida Vino event be?
Would you like for it to be an all day event or maybe only half day? Mostly Red Vino or White Vino? Old World or New World Wine? Should it have experts feeding you information on the matter or should YOU be the one giving your thoughts on it?...
Any other suggestions?
In terms of a local place, give us a few suggestions on where it should be held and why:
Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, Florida Keys?

The South Florida Vino community is expanding rapidly and YOUR input is very important.

Send us an e-mail to info@iVinoMiami.com with all your thoughts.

Please wine responsibly, and as always, Salud!

Loving The Vino...South Florida Style

Hello South Florida. I hope you have been enjoying your iVino and vino lately.
And I hope you've been staying out of trouble.

Well, after all the previous ranting I did against that H.R. 5034 (By the way, did I mention it would end Direct-To-Consumer wine sales...) I think it's time for me to move on to other things.

I know that most people think of a "wine event" and a "wine tasting" as a sophisticated, refined event that only "rich" and "educated" people do.
O.k., well here are some breaking news: THAT IS NOT TRUE.
With the ever changing landscape of new media and the Internet, more and more people are attending wine events. These same people are realizing that regardless of your age group, (obviously, 21 and over) economic standing, and "knowledge" of wine, moderate wine drinking opens conversations, brings different backgrounds together and benefits our health. Don't be intimidated by Vino. It's just a drink.

That is why I'd like to suggest you attend the Miami Beach's Veiled Wine Society next gathering. No intimidation here, just simply vino and contributions to the community. I've been to a couple of these and I gotta tell you: These folks do a lot of good for our community. Not only do you, as an attendee, get to taste all sorts of wine but you also get to contribute to a local non-profit.
I'd like to congratulate the folks at the Miami Beach Veiled Wine Society for such great work and I hope you can help them continue.
