In the U.S., the State of Florida ranks second in wine sales. Despite this, Florida is not thought of as a major wine location due to the challenging climate for growing grapes. The keyword is 'sales'. We are major importers and will drink anyone else's wine. The South Florida Punch brings together local South Floridians who love wine.
The SFP is an online magazine which includes budget-friendly local wine events, wine reviews, local bar and restaurant reviews, how-tos, food pairing advice, recipes, and more.
South Florida is your “town”, so contributions are encouraged. Questions, suggestions, or opinions are always welcome. Feel free to post comments to articles and become more involved in South Florida’s wine world.
