Read excerpt
Not many restaurants can claim they’ve sold $20,000 of wine in a single evening, but on the opening night of La Sponda in Miami, high-caliber wine was exactly what guests were seeking out. “We got to open up a lot of iconic Italian wineries: Giuseppe Mascarello & Figlio, Giacomo Conterno, Bartolo Mascarello, along with Gaja,” says Gioia Hospitality Group’s wine and beverage director, Daniel Bishop. “I would love every night to be like that.” La Sponda is the next step in Gioia’s steady rise in M

Martha Stoumen Made a Wine of Mystery (opens the original)

The bottle, Martha Stoumen “Mystery Date” 20??, was released in spring 2026. Raised and
