Chilean wines are so in right now, especially at the higher-end of the economic spectrum. More and more, restaurants and their sommeliers are placing these wines on premium lists around the country, and people are starting to take notice of the expansion in quality coming out of the region.

One of our favorite renovation projects in Miami has been The Vagabond Hotel. Built in the 1950’s The Vagabond on 72nd and Biscayne was one of the more than dozen mid-century modern motels that lined Biscayne Blvd. Now, The Vagabond is home to Vagabond Village, a F&B and lifestyle concept that is the brainchild of Amir Ben Zion of Bond St, Miss Yip, Bardot and Gigi.

Downtown Miami is making a comeback, especially when it comes to cool spots to stop in and grab a drink. Earlier this year we saw the opening of spots like Mama Tried and Lost Boy Dry Goods.

Those are some very scary stats — so please make sure you’re getting checked out annually! In the meantime, restaurants and bars all over Miami are featuring special menu items that donate proceeds to various breast cancer research groups and hospitals in the area.
