[ABV] Miami: Anything but Vinifera Wine-Tasting Series
Miami, make your New Year’s Resolution Count!
We’re $16,000 away from our End-of-Year campaign goal, with just a five days left! We’re ready to deliver — but we need the resources to do it right. If Miami New Times matters to you, please contribute today to help us expand our current events coverage when it’s needed most.
Paradis will host the [ABV] wine-tasting series this week. The event aims to share resources and bridge the gap between agriculture and wine production. The three-day event features panels and tastings. Monday, January 16, through Wednesday, January 18, at 12831 W. Dixie Hwy., North Miami; pbb.cafe. Tickets cost $15 to $200 via eventbrite.com.
