Casa Vigil Miami

A 90+ bottle list in Miami attached to an Argentine winery operation catches our attention immediately. The depth here suggests someone's actually thinking about wine, not just filling slots with the usual suspects. We're curious but cautious — restaurant-winery hybrids can go either way.

With Casa Vigil's Mendoza roots, expect heavy Argentine representation — Malbecs from different altitude zones, Cabernet Francs, maybe some Bonarda if they're adventurous. The 90-bottle count suggests they're reaching beyond Argentina into Chilean neighbors, possibly some Spanish and Italian workhorses. Without a sommelier driving the program, the list likely leans on the winery's import connections and distributor relationships. Gaps probably exist in Burgundy, domestic bottles, and natural wine, but the South American section should have real depth.

Glass program details are murky, but with this list size, we'd expect 8-12 pours. Likely heavy on Casa Vigil's own production — their Malbec, maybe a Torrontés, possibly a rosé. If they're smart, they're rotating in some interesting Argentine producers beyond their estate. If they're lazy, it's all house wines marked up hard.
