Casa Vigil, owned by winemaker Alejandro Vigil, has been honored in Wine Spectator’s 2024 Restaurant Awards with the Award of Excellence. This Miami-based restaurant is celebrated for its well-chosen wine list that matches its menu in both price and style.
Since opening in early 2024, Casa Vigil has become a top spot for wine lovers. La Cava, its main dining room, features over 700 wine labels. Under sommelier Miguel Martinez, guests enjoy tastings of rare wines like Chateau Petrus 2004.
“The restaurant industry is expanding and flourishing, with new restaurant openings now exceeding pre-pandemic numbers for the first time. To capitalize on this growth, restaurateurs are investing more in their wine programs,” said Marvin R. Shanken, Editor and Publisher, Wine Spectator. “Restaurants that prioritize wine are the focus of the Wine Spectator Restaurant Awards program. I’m delighted to congratulate all 3,777 restaurants for their commitment to wine and outstanding wine lists.”
