Local Wine Clubs to Inspire Discovery in 2022

Happy 2022! Here we are at the start of another brand-new year. Time for making goals and deciding how we will be expanding our palates over the next 12 months.

After the excitement of the holiday season dies down, we may be thinking about the next great tasting adventure. If the past couple of years have taught us anything, it’s that we can go places and learn new things without even leaving our homes. This certainly goes for wine lovers, too, as there are countless options for exploring the world of wine while in the comfort of our pjs.

In fact, there are ways to discover new bottles and producers chosen for us each month through the expertise of some of the finest wine professionals here in Miami, and we can enjoy their curated picks through wine clubs – our very own local wine clubs.

Miami is home to top experts in all things wine who work hard to bring the best bottles to South Florida. If you’re interested in expanding your tastes and discovering a new world of wine in 2022, consider one of these Miami-based clubs, and let local pros guide you on your next wine adventure.

305Wines Club(s)

305Wines owners Alessandra Esteves and Guilherme de Macedo are two of the most accomplished wine and sake professionals in South Florida, and they offer their specialized advice and top picks on a daily basis at their shop in Palmetto Bay.

When it comes to wine clubs, 305Wines offers three incredible opportunities to try new wines each month: 305 Champagne Club, 305 Sake Club and 305 Wine Club. Each focuses on a different style of wine (or sake!) and includes bottles that were chosen exclusively for that particular club by Alessandra and Guilherme.

Each monthly box is shipped directly to your front door and includes 1-4 bottles depending on the membership, tasting notes for each bottle and, occasionally, a special gift. Whether you love bubbly only, want to discover new types of sake or simply would like to enjoy exciting new bottles on a regular basis, 305Wines truly has something for every type of curious Miami wine lover. You can start your 2022 wine discovery at 305Wines.com.

Paradis Books & Bread Wine Club

Paradis Books and Bread (PBB) is a quaint neighborhood natural wine shop and café located in North Miami, offering customers a couple of wine club opportunities. If you subscribe to their “serious club,” you will have the chance to try some seriously complex and age-worthy 100% natural wines chosen by one of the owners, Bianca Sanon. These bottles are “wine nerd” friendly, and many are rare or limited production.

If you aren’t so serious about your wine drinking, try the “soft club.” These wines are meant for immediate consumption and come across as more approachable, everyday drinking wines. Each membership includes a Paradis wine glass with sign-up, complimentary tastings, and two or four hand-picked wines available each month for pickup. Get serious about natural wine at PBB.Cafe/wine-club.

Macchialina Wine Collective

Macchialina is one of Miami Beach’s most beloved restaurants, with some of the most delectable pasta dishes by chef-owner Michael Pirolo, paired perfectly with wines chosen by managing partner and beverage director Jacqueline Pirolo. Now, you can take a piece of Macchialina’s magic home with you through its expertly crafted Wine Collective.

Macchialina’s “Wine Connoisseurs” can expect a themed selection of wines by boutique growers, hand-selected by Jacqueline and her team. Members can choose a box with two, four or six bottles each month, but who’s counting anyway? In addition to these exceptional wines – often made from

lesser-known grapes grown in lesser-known regions – each box contains a message about the monthly theme, tasting notes on each bottle and a special treat from the Macchialina kitchen (yum).

All Wine Connoisseurs also get first access to limited-run dishes at the restaurant and priority access to Macchialina’s special events. This is the quintessential Miami Beach wine club that offers local pickup and shipping to most of Miami-Dade.
