Wingman Metrics
When a restaurant stocks 450 Spanish wine labels, they're not playing around. Casa Juancho's wine list reads like a love letter to the Iberian Peninsula, with depth that goes way beyond Rioja and Ribera. This is the kind of place where the wine program matches the paella pan commitment.
The list digs into Spain's lesser-known DOs with the same enthusiasm it shows for the classics. We're talking Priorat, Bierzo, Jumilla, Toro, and Rías Baixas alongside the expected Rioja Gran Reservas. The variety spans from affordable Albariño and Verdejo to aged Tempranillo that's been cellared properly. Producers range from household names like López de Heredia and Vega Sicilia to smaller bodega finds from Galicia and Castilla y León. With 450 labels, there are gaps in non-Spanish offerings, but that's the point — this is Spain or nothing.
Glass pour intel is light, but given the restaurant's scale and longevity, expect a solid rotation of 10-15 pours. The smart money says they're pouring crowd-friendly Albariño, a couple of Tempranillo options at different price points, and probably a Cava or two. For a restaurant this committed to Spanish wine, the glass program should mirror the bottle list's regional diversity.
Bodegas Lan Rioja Crianza — $42
Classic Rioja with oak and red fruit that punches above its weight — perfect with any dish on the menu
Descendientes de J. Palacios Pétalos del Bierzo
Most people sleep on Bierzo Mencía, but this bottle from Álvaro Palacios shows elegant red fruit and minerality that works beautifully with seafood paella
Generic Cava
If they're charging $50+ for basic production Cava, skip it and go for a proper Albariño or young Rioja instead
Pazo de Señorans Albariño + Seafood Paella
The saline minerality and citrus backbone of Rías Baixas Albariño cuts through saffron rice and shellfish like it was designed in a lab for this exact purpose
The Bottom Line
Casa Juancho built a 450-bottle Spanish cellar in Little Havana and backs it up with proper storage and staff who know their Verdejo from their Viura. If you want to drink Spanish wine in Miami, this is your spot.
· Miami · French Brasserie
La Grande Boucherie Miami is a Champagne list wearing a restaurant costume — deep on grower producers, light on everything else, and priced like it knows it has you cornered. If you are here specifically to dig into a blanc de noirs from the Côte des Bar or split a bottle of Larmandier-Bernier ($190/bottle) over dinner, this is genuinely one of the more interesting Champagne programs in Miami. Everyone else should order the Chablis and move on.

· Miami · Seafood Steakhouse
Truluck's Miami isn't a wine destination — it's a seafood restaurant that happens to have eight wines on a menu. If you're here for stone crab or a special occasion dinner, you'll find something adequate to drink, but you won't find anything to get excited about. Order a cocktail or bring your own expectations down a notch.

Coral Gables · Miami · Italian
An Italy-first list built around Piedmont and Tuscany, with a four-vintage Burlotto Barolo vertical, three vintages of Sassicaia and a 16-bottle Brunello section plus special-vintage Brunellos. Start with a Coravin pour or a quartino, then ask for bottle prices, because this version of the list posts none and carries no printed date. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Miami · Miami · Italian
A long, Italian-first list where Barbaresco, Barolo and Brunello each get their own block and several producers list multiple older vintages. If you want a safe Tuscan red by the glass, ask for the Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico 2020; if you want something stranger, ask about the Zidarich Vitovska, and ask the price either way because none is posted. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups. The list carries no printed date, so confirm current availability.
Jungle Island · Miami · Mediterranean Beach Club
A glass-first list with a top end that reaches Barolo at $29 a glass and Dom Pérignon at $95. Order the Bico da Ran Albariño with the Grilled Octopus, or ask about Sunset Hour for the $8 AIX Rosé: its menu says Monday through Friday, 4 to 7 pm at the bar and lounge, but the homepage lists Tuesday as closed and the Beach Lounge as closed Monday and Tuesday, so check before you go. Confirm prices before you go, since the PDFs carry no printed date. This unrated guide covers the posted glass list and Sunset Hour menu, not service, storage or markups.
King · Portland · Spanish
A Spanish tapas-bar wine page with glass and bottle prices from 13/50 and a ten-sherry list. Start with the Pago del Cielo Celeste Verdejo at 13 a glass, try the chilled Vara y Pulgar Tintilla at 17 if you want something different, and order the Miquel Pons Cava with the croquetas. The page says the posted menu may differ from the restaurant's, so confirm prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Washington · Washington · Spanish
A glass-focused, Spain-leaning wine menu with a full sherry section and no bottle list posted. Start with the $17 Valtravieso Crianza or the $25 La Vizcaína Mencía, and order the $12 Manzanilla Fina with the jamón if you want to see how the sherry list works. Confirm prices, since the menu is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks selection, not service, storage or markups.
Atlanta · Atlanta · Spanish
Buena Vida doesn't have the deepest list in Atlanta, but they've done real work curating twenty bottles that actually match the food and the spirit of the place — and with 18 pours available by the glass at fair prices, it's one of the more inviting wine setups on the tapas scene.
