Wine Watch

Tabatha Mudra
Living in a town packed with chain wine megastores like ABC Wine & Spirits and Total Wine had winos thirsting for a proper wine shop. Enter Wine Watch. If there is one thing proprietor Andrew has, it's a palette for vino. Like wine aficionados the world over, his prospective is of a taster, not a maker. He's obsessed with the customer's selection process and loves helping customers choose a wine that will match with their food. In fact -- disclaimer -- he serves as master sommelier for New Times' annual Pairings event, matching wines with specific dishes from South Florida's finest restaurants. But Andrew works his magic on a small scale too -- come in with a dinner party menu and his staff will have you set up with libations for the whole evening. The shop also has a catering company.
