Joia Beach

The wine list at Joia Beach does exactly what you'd expect from a see-and-be-seen beach club: it leans hard into rosé, Champagne, and safe European bottles that look good on Instagram. The selection feels like it was assembled by someone who knows what Miami brunch crowds want to order, not necessarily what they should be drinking.

This is a greatest-hits compilation built for bottle service and poolside posing. Heavy on Provence rosé (Whispering Angel makes multiple appearances), crowd-pleasing Champagne houses, and Italian whites that won't offend anyone. You'll find some Sancerre, predictable Chablis, and the kind of Tuscan reds that show up at every coastal restaurant from South Beach to Santa Monica. The list doesn't take risks, which is either comforting or boring depending on your mood. Missing: anything natural, anything adventurous, anything that suggests someone on staff actually cares about wine beyond moving bottles.

The glass pour program sticks to the script: a Provençal rosé, a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, maybe a Pinot Grigio, and a safe Cabernet. Pours are generous enough for the beach club setting, but rotation seems nonexistent. You're drinking the same lineup whether it's February or August, which tells you everything about how this program operates.
