Wine Talks Miami: Hospitality by Numbers
Welcome to Wine Talks Miami, South Florida's wine trade network.
For this edition, we're digging into the numbers behind the dishes and the bottles. What does it really take to be a successful, profitable hospitality business — and how does wine fit into this?
Our panel brings three different perspectives — a seasoned Beverage Director, a General Manager, and a Chef/Owner with extensive experience in the Miami market.
We'll be joined by:
Zach Gossard — Wine Consultant
Nicole MacLean — General Manager @ Mother Wolf
Giorgio Rapicavoli — Chef Owner @ Luca Osteria & Eating House Miami
The discussion will be moderated by Amanda Fraga, Beverage Director of The Genuine Hospitality Group, and Vice Chair of Wine Talks Miami.
