Fontainebleau Miami Beach

The Fontainebleau is a sprawling Miami Beach resort with multiple restaurants and bars, which means the wine program is corporate-safe across the board. You're looking at the kind of list designed not to offend anyone: Napa Cabs, Sonoma Chards, maybe a Tuscan red or two. Nothing thrilling, but nothing offensive either.

Expect familiar names at resort markups—think Caymus, La Crema, Ruffino—wines your parents would recognize from their country club. The list leans heavily into California and Italy with token France and Spain sections. Depth is shallow; this is breadth for breadth's sake, covering bases without taking risks. No natural wines, no obscure regions, no funky skin-contact stuff. Just safe, predictable bottles that won't scare off conventioneer types or spring breakers who suddenly want wine.

Glass pours run the predictable gamut: a Pinot Grigio, a New Zealand Sauv Blanc, a Napa Cab, maybe a Malbec. Rotation is minimal—these are set-it-and-forget-it selections that probably haven't changed in months. Pours are generous enough for resort standards, served in whatever glass is behind the bar, which could be stemless or could be a standard Bordeaux glass regardless of what's in it.
