Oh, good – I found another South Florida wine blog. They seem to be few and far between.
But if you like Italian wine, check out Miami Loves Italian Wine, a blog written by Julie Mushett, 29, left, of Miami, who sells wine for Vinifera Imports of Fort Lauderdale. A native of Anchorage, Alaska, where there’s only one sommelier in town, she likes to invite South Florida sommeliers -- Allegra Angelo of Michy’s, George Hock at Casa Tua and so on -- to wine tastings. Then she writes up the results.
“It’s just kind of my wine journal,” she says. “A way for me to keep track of the wines I’ve tried and the places I’ve been.”
If you read her descriptions, it’ll get you interested in something relatively new – Italy’s growing experiments with France’s syrah grape.
And her musings on the 2003 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano will make you want some: “a nose of dark fruit, blackberries and vanilla; on the palate, medium body with loads of fruit and a finish of ripe, juicy plum with hints of smooth cream.”
Check her out.
Also, if you have a South Florida wine blog or know someone who does, please let me know so I can feature it here. Click on the “comments” icon below.

This is a great blog! She also has a great palette for food as well as wine! Her wine selling almost as good as her cooking!
